ARTIST #15 THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON


ARTIST #15 THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
Launched with the Artist #15 Something in the Water series, The Dark Side of the Moon is an exploration of sherry cask ageing through six single casks, distilled between 1989 and 2015. From oloroso to pedro ximénez, these expressions reveal the varied facets of Andalusian influence.
The name, of course, deliberately references a monument of 1970s music, but it also echoes a series of Velier bottlings: Glen Grants of various vintages, aged in sherry casks, handpicked from Signatory Vintage’s cellars in 1993. These bottlings were among the very first to be selected by Velier CEO Luca
Gargano when the Italian distributor was just beginning to import whisky, and serve as a symbolic origin for this new collection—consider it a sort of long-delayed sequel, twenty-two years on.
