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 in 2022 and included Scottish single malts. The Strathisla presented here, distilled in 1997, spent over a quarter of a century in a refill hogshead cask (no. 78844). The whisky was bottled at cask strength (50% abv) and without chill filtration, and the edition consisted of 269 bottles. The graphic design used the photograph entitled “Slate Roof” by the young, talented artist Mathéo Modola.
