From the Distiller's Art Limited we bring two extraordinary expressions together.
A rare single cask bottled at cask strength and numbered by hand.
Plus a print of an original painting of On the way to Linkwood'
Individually numbered and limited to just 288 bottles.
Like the landscape painting of the Spey, this delicaty textured malt brings soft green meadowland to mind.
Nose: A grassy, herbal fruity character
Palate: The mouthfeel delivers sweet honey backed up with a spicy grassy flavour
Finish: A really nice long dry fruitiness
Artist Nichol Wheatley: “Linkwood always reminds me of Speyside. I think about the bend of the river between Aberlour and Craigellachie. It’s amazing how a whisky can take you to a place. It’s like magic teleportation!”
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.
