Product description
“Artist” is a luxury whisky series from the portfolio of Parisian distributor La Maison du Whisky.
It debuted in 2011 and immediately caught the attention of connoisseurs with both its excellent selection and its unusual and thought-provoking presentation – each edition is decorated with a label presenting the work of a contemporary artist. The eleventh series was released in 2021 and, in addition to excellent Scottish single malts, it included whiskies from the Compass Box portfolio. The Glenlivet presented here, distilled in 2006, spent 15 years in a first-fill sherry hogshead cask no. 900550. The whisky was bottled at cask strength (62.5% abv), and the edition consisted of 316 bottles. The graphic design used the work entitled "Au delà du Ciel" by French painter Catherine Ludeau.
