First things first: This whiskey looks pretty wild. It comes in a metal tube made to look like a shotgun barrel.

The sunny, windswept area is located right on the Mediterranean, leading to concentrated wines with a lot of rich fruit, savory undertones, and intense structure in both its reds and rosés.
