Ledaig 13-year-old (Distilled 2007) Artist Collective # 4.4 / 48%/ 0.7l
- ‘Artist Collective’ was introduced in 2017 by the Parisian retailer La Maison du Whisky as a sub-range to the prestigious ‘Artist’ range.
Product description
The “Artist Collective” series debuted in 2017 in the Parisian La Maison du Whisky range and is a complement to the prestigious “Artist” line.
While the latter is a collection of carefully selected single cask editions, the “Artist Collective” is in the small batch (or rather very small batch) category. Each edition catches the eye with a label featuring the work of a contemporary artist. The Ledaig 2007 presented here is part of the fourth “Artist Collective” series, released in autumn 2020. The whisky spent over 13 years in two refill sherry butts and was bottled at 48% abv. The graphic design uses the work of “L'Explorateur” by Marie de Franceville.

Palate : pears, nectarines, honey, milk chocolate, sugared almonds, licorice, anise, grapefruit, lemon peel, peat smoke and a light mineral note.
Finish : long, with notes of peat smoke, salted caramel, seaweed, herbal spice, a touch of citrus and oak.
