Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Islay

Created in 2011, La Maison du Whisky’s Artist range has played host to a number of impressive Caol Ilas, including the only Artist over 5 years old (distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2016) in this collection. Testament to the fact that no bottling should be judged solely by its age. This enthralling version immediately sets the tone for an olfactory and gustatory journey that is particularly keen on changes of pace and scenery. Despite being independent from one another, the three stages of the tasting nonetheless stand out for their harmony. In the grand finale, this particularly moving odyssey of flavours finds its marine epilogue just a few lengths from the distillery, in the bay of Port Askaig.
