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 depicting the work of a contemporary artist. The twelfth series was released in 2022 and included Scottish single malts. The Strathisla presented here, distilled in 2007, spent over 15 years in a first-fill sherry butt cask (no. 205217). The whisky was bottled at cask strength (62.7% abv) and without chill filtration, and the edition consisted of 553 bottles. The graphic design used a photograph entitled “Pagodas” by the young, talented artist Mathéo Modola.
