Description

Unboxing Distillers Art Linkwood

The Distillers Art.

The Spirit of Art is a celebration of Fine Art and Fine Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Each unique package features an original artwork with the commissioned artist being carefully chosen for reason of a strength or talent or connection that we consider having particular empathy with the place from which the selected cask originates.

Every bottle, every painting, and every signed print are absolutely unique.

So, for this unique bottling, a splendid Linkwood is matched up with a Speyside landscape titled, “On the way to Linkwood” (frame not included) by artist Mr Nichol Wheatley.

My rough notes read, “Sherried, fresh, lively, grainy, spicy oak, Tingling start, sweetens up, good mix of malt and sherry fruit, dry, oaky, tingly spirit finish with oak spice. Excellent”.

And the official notes, “Nose: A grassy, herbal, and fruity character.  Palate: The mouthfeel delivers sweet honey backed up with a spicy grassy flavour.  Finish: long dry fruitiness.”
