Art is the Flower: A Creation Inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Art is the Flower is inspired by the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, British architect and artist, as well as his European influences. Crafted by Whisky Maker Steven Bremner, this Blend prioritizes the selection of fully matured casks rather than a specific age. The whisky is aged exclusively in European oak casks that previously held sherry, notably from the Tevasa cooperage. This maturation brings to this Scotch whisky unpeated notes of dried fruits, delicate spices and polished oak. The 50.4% ABV pays tribute to Mackintosh and his artistic group "The Four", demonstrating the creative approach of this expression that links art and distilling expertise
