Production method

Moon Import is not reported as a direct producer of the distillate: it operates as a selector and independent bottler acquiring distillates from third-party distilleries, in some cases overseeing aging phases and subsequent bottling.

Distillation

Not applicable (selection and bottling of distillates produced by third-party distilleries).

Ageing

Aging in oak barrels; for several Demerara expressions maturation/finish in sherry wood.

Producer history Moon Import

Founded in Genoa in 1980 by Pepi (Bepi) Mongiardino, Moon Import established itself as a reference Italian company in the importation and independent bottling of spirits, with a catalogue that includes rum and whisky and several numbered and signature releases. Over the years it has published collections recognized among collectors and enthusiasts.

Production philosophy

Careful selection of distillates from third-party producers and enhancement through aging and selective bottling; a project focused on collectible bottles and single expressions that highlight geographic and cask characteristics.

Territory

Historic headquarters in Genoa (Italy); editorial and commercial activities aimed at the European market. Some sources indicate that selected rums are aged and bottled in warehouses/locations in Scotland before marketing.
