The story
The activity is linked to Ferdinando “Nadi” Fiori, a long-standing Italian importer who, after previous experiences (Intertrade, Turatello and ties with the Taverna degli Artisti), continued operations under the High Spirits/High Spirits' Collection label. Specialist sources indicate the High Spirits project consolidated from the late 1990s as an evolution of earlier activities.
Production philosophy
Selection of high-quality casks and the release of limited-edition bottlings, with an emphasis on single-cask bottles—often presented at cask strength—and distinctive packaging and labeling.
Territory
Rimini (Emilia-Romagna, Italy); selection and commercial activity aimed at the international market.
Production method
Not a producer/distillery: operates as an independent bottler selecting and bottling casks sourced from various distilleries; where indicated releases are bottled at cask strength or as single-cask editions.
