An Excellence and a Future of Innovation
Ricci Spirits still assembly at the new premises is still underway. The company is poised to introduce new and exciting developments in the world of spirits, including a fresh lineup of meticulously crafted beverages.
Ricci Spirits is the name of the holding company; there will be no bottling under that name, all production will be under Famille Ricci, Domaine Ricci, and the respective brand names produced on-site.
A Sensory Journey: New Spirits in the Making
Ricci Spirits is set to launch several unique products, starting with:
-Gin Blue Garden
-Pastis Le 132
-Limoncello Le Méditerranéen
-Eau de vie & Liqueur from Distillerie Azurea
The company’s whisky production is also in progress, with initial testing beginning immediately. The first batches are expected to be ready for tasting around September.
While the official name for the whisky remains undecided, the brand is dedicated to crafting an exceptional product.
Experiential Offerings: Distillery Visits and Workshops
Visitors to Ricci Spirits’ new office can look forward to an immersive experience, including:
-Classic and premium tastings
-Rum and whisky blending workshops
-Micro-distillation of gin
-Potential customized ateliers
In addition, the second floor of the establishment will serve as a training academy dedicated to all facets of spirits production, distillation, and marketing.
This initiative is spearheaded by Morgan Ricci and Cyrille Mald, with the goal of fostering knowledge-sharing among industry players.
Capacity and Special Releases
The new facility boasts a storage capacity of approximately 200 barrels or 50,000 liters of alcohol. While some special cuvées are in the pipeline, details remain undisclosed for now.
Strategic Shifts and New Directions
Domaine Ricci remains committed to its role as a 100% bottling company.
As part of a strategic revamp, the Zodiac, OVNI, and Exception series will be discontinued. In their place, two new continuous categories will be introduced:
-Rare Single Cask – Covering the full range, not just ultra-rare releases.
-Unic Blend – Featuring both aged and white spirits.
Vanuatu Bottling and the Nabonga Project
The company is also exploring a Vanuatu bottling project and the creation of a new brand, Nabonga. However, final decisions regarding this initiative are still pending.
Exciting Releases for Whisky Live
Domaine Ricci is expected to unveil new releases at Whisky Live, including potential new spirit categories that will further expand the company’s diverse portfolio.
With its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, Ricci Spirits is set to redefine the landscape of premium spirits.
Stay tuned for more updates as they embark on this exciting new chapter.
