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, thought-provoking presentation – each edition is decorated with a label depicting the work of a contemporary artist. The twelfth series was released at the end of 2022 and included Scottish single malts. The Benrinnes presented here, distilled in 2011, after maturing in traditional casks, was finished in a fresh sherry butt no. 307205. The whisky was bottled at cask strength (58.1% abv), and the edition consisted of 660 bottles. The graphic design used the work entitled "Lettera d'amore" ("Love Letter") by Hanover-born artist Gesine Arps.
