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 twelfth series was released at the end of 2022 and included Scottish single malts. The Bowmore presented here, distilled in 2001, after maturing in traditional casks, was finished in a fresh sherry cask type butt no. 102. The whisky was bottled at cask strength (54.8% abv), and the edition consisted of 665 bottles. The graphic design used the work entitled "Un po' dentro un po'fuori dal Bianco" ("A little inside, a little outside of white") by Hanover-born artist Gesine Arps.
Nose: slightly smoky, sea breeze, apples, pears, lemons, grapefruit, dark chocolate, almonds, hazelnuts, white pepper, cloves, a touch of cumin and sherry-soaked oak.
Palate: slightly oily, peat smoke, seaweed salad, smoked seafood, almonds, black tea, toffee, vanilla, dark chocolate, pears, mirabelle jam, cardamom, cloves and mint leaf.
