Moon Import was founded by Pepi Mongiardino in 1980 and bottled its first whiskey in 1982. Always recognized for the beauty of his labels, Pepi is famous for designing the packaging of Moon Import bottles himself, often using images found in old books. This iconic design, combined with the quality of the liquid, has seen Moon Import grow steadily in popularity. The company is still going strong, and its early releases are some of the brightest gems of any whiskey collection.
Here is a Springbank bottled by Mongiardino, distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2008. It is part of the series of bottles "The Maidens of the 1800s", each of which has a different female portrait on the label. Originally released exclusively for the Japanese market.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
