Full Set of Artist Collective 5.0 Limited Edition (From Left to right)

Ben Nevis 2014 Artist Collective 5.0
This very typical version of Ben Nevis wonderfully illustrates the unique character of a single malt that is deeply cherished by many enthusiasts. The very nuanced palette of flavours and aromas is sculpted by a classic yet exotic oxidative fruitiness, a very subtle floral character, numerous aromatic plants that shake up the established order, and spices that unite diversity and nobility.

Glenlossie 2009 Artist Collective 5.0
The wonderfully mentholated, honeyed and lemony palette of flavours and aromas revealed by this Glenlossie immediately take us to the heart of Speyside. With it come absolutely delicious notes of honey and an originality illustrated by the presence of unusual tastes and fragrances. The notes of rocket leaves and balsamic vinegar that gain the upper hand on the finish are the perfect example.

Caol Ila 2010 Artist Collective 5.0
Following in the footsteps of the outstanding Caol Ila 2012 found in our 2021 Creation Catalogue French Connections, this version showcase the wonderful complexity afforded by the combination of peated malted barley and sherry wine. Further highlighting this complicity, the flavour and aroma palette energetically reveals stunning fruity, chocolate, malty, iodine, smoky, peaty, spicy and floral sequences.

Benrinnes 2010 Artist Collective 5.0
Each linked closely together by a skilfully woven malty tapestry, the three stages in the tasting of this incredible Benrinnes are nonetheless entities in their own right. The nose’s intensely floral character and the palate’s abundantly fruity temperament precede a wonderfully chocolatey, roasted and spicy finish that also reveals an impressively mature and fresh expression.

Bunnahabhain Staoisha 2013 Artist Collective 5.0
This version could not be more characteristic of Bunnahabhain and begins by revealing the full breadth of its flavour and aroma palette with rare generosity and candour. It then does everything in its power to highlight its full complexity and depth. Intensely malty, peaty, medicinal, salty and ashy, it is also wonderfully floral, fruity, honeyed and mentholated.

Auchentoshan 2007 Artist Collective 5.0
When we discover this distilled version for the first time in 2007, one thing emerges: the refining in sherry casks fits like a glove to this emblematic single malt from the Lowlands region. Better yet, its very nuanced and wonderfully fruity aromatic and taste palette is enriched with gourmet and spicy notes as well as superb autumnal hues which further highlight its deeply malty character.
