SALOON OF A CLASSIC YACHT
This 18 year Speysider matured in a First Fill Sherry Butt giving it a deep mahogany colour and an impressive strength of 60%.
Panel's Tasting Note: "Gorgeous colour and an immediate impact of sherry-related aromas: dried fruits, figs macerated in dark rum, strong black tea, crème caramel, polished oak and waxed leather – the image of a classic yacht sprang to mind. The taste is bitter-sweet, with burnt salt taffy and ginger cake, but also herbal and spicy notes (tarragon and mouth snuff) and chilli chocolate in the long finish. Immediate sulphur notes with water, but these soon give way to crème brulée, fruit cake, dried figs and old furniture. Still bitter-sweet to taste (burnt raisins, caramel); at once cooling and warming, with a hint of blackcurrant in the finish. The distillery was built by a very large man named John Smith."
Drinking Tip: "A reward for the crew who won the race."

About the Artist Collective Range
"Since the dawn of time, artist collectives have been a place of exchange, inspiration and creativity. In the same way, each of the single malts found in our Artist Collective range draws the richness of their olfactory and gustatory palettes from the marriage of various casks. Devoted to diversity, every region and every style of Scottish single malt, peated and unpeated, are represented. To illustrate the labels of fourth collection, La Maison du Whisky has called on contemporary art students from very different backgrounds. Each of them brings their own very personal touch that echoes the richness of the single malts selected! The Theme: Trompe-l’oeil is born when the desire to “deceive” outweighs the aesthetic intention and induces the artist to use all possible technical artifices."
About the Artwork "L’explorateur" by Marie de Franceville
"Situated on the isle of Mull, the Tobermory distillery was founded in 1798. It produces two single malts: one made from unpeated barley (Tobermory), the other one featuring remarkable peaty notes (Ledaig). To elaborate the second one, the distillery gets its barley from the Port Ellen malting plant. Particularly generous, this version delivers, one after the other and without any restraint, all the ingredients which will shape its personality. It is to represent this unique facet that the work of Marie de Franceville"
