Tasting note
- Appearance : mahogany.
- Nose : elegant, ethereal. The truly outstanding first nose brings notes of marmalade, rose petal, purple lilac and very ripe mango. Allowed to breathe, it becomes spicy (pepper, clove), camphoric and even more floral (freesia, hyacinth, lime blossom). Gradually, candy sugar and a fine layer of caramel cover the surface of the aroma palette. Apricot and quince jelly arrive in the finale.
- Palate : distinguished, full of energy. Beginning exactly where the nose left off, the attack also allows a glimpse of the beautifully clear and fruity spirit (pear, kirsch). On the mid-palate, frangipane, cocoa and tobacco spread harmoniously across the sides of the palate. At the end of the palate, red fruits (raspberry, strawberry) and dark chocolate rival each other in intensity.
- Overall : long, silky. The very slightly tannic start of the finish is characterized by notes of prune, toast and beeswax. Sprinkled with nutmeg and chocolate chips, the finish also evokes a very high-quality black tea. Beaming with herbaceous freshness, the retro-nasal olfaction returns to the notes of tobacco found on the mid-palate (smoking Havana cigar). The empty glass is malty, roasted (coffee, tonka bean) and resinous (thuja, cedar).

The brand
Benrinnes remains relatively undiscovered, but is nevertheless well-known amongst whisky lovers. Its tumultuous history featured a succession of reconstructions and changes in ownership, until in 1925 it was finally given some stability by being incorporated into the Distillers Company Limited. This distillery, which was equipped with its own saladin box for malting its barley until 1984, is noted for its rather unconventional “partial triple distillation”. Although its rare official bottlings have remained in the shadows: The Flora & Fauna and Rare Malts collections, its most expressive whiskies are to be found on the independent bottlings market.

Merchant
Artist, Lands of Scotland, Malt Pedigree, Tartan, The Ten, Very Cloudy... all of these whisky ranges – composed of single malts and single grains – have one thing in common: they were all created by the team at La Maison du Whisky. They are the fruits of many decades of close collaboration with some of the most prestigious bottlers in Scotland. For some years the French importer and exclusive distributor of the classic ranges of well-known spirits producers, La Maison du Whisky was soon granted the very rare privilege of being able to complement these ranges with their own, bringing together two sets of expertise, two reputations and two complementary histories under one, single label.

The line
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. Within this range we also find 43%, 48%, 57.1% (100 proof) and cask-strength bottlings. To illustrate the labels of the six bottlings in our first collection, La Maison du Whisky has called on contemporary artists from very different backgrounds. Each of them brings their own very personal touch that echoes the richness of the single malts selected! - Delivery and payment
