Like our landscape study of Islay itself, this magnificent malt is redolent of green pastures and peat smoke.
Nose: Full grassy, smoky whiff with a light essence of tobacco leaf.
Palate: It is oily and salty with a gentle smokiness rounded by sweet fruit
Finish: A long rich burst of peppery peat smoke.
Former colleagues and old friends George Thomson and Ewen Cameron had long been intrigued with the idea of establishing an independent cask bottling business.
The spark that fired the concept behind the Spirit of Art Single Malts started from one of those deep philosophical discussions which takes place in a pub.
While there are a number of fine businesses of this type, neither George nor Ewen had any desire simply to imitate others. They wanted was an emotional connection that would take someone with a love of single malts on a journey to the heart of the place in which the whisky was produced.
As the discussion developed it became clear that a unique idea could bring the single malt lover to feel the sense of place and at the same time enjoy the taste unique to a selected cask.
They decided a painting to pair with the single malt would capture the essence of the landscape where the whisky was produced. This would be commissioned as a high quality print and also form the label for the bottle of malt.
