Description

The single malts in La Maison du Whisky's Artist Collective range draw their richness from the marriage of several casks. The sixth edition, released in 2022, consists of eight Speyside, Highland and Islay single malts distilled between 2008 and 2013. The labels feature abstract works by painter Yanis Khannoussi, called idéographiques. Caol Ila 9 Years Old Artist Collective 2013 was aged in dechar/rechar casks which were previously used to mature wine. This limited edition consists of just 4 casks. The result is an aromatic and smoky dram that demonstrates Caol Ila's mineral and ethereal character, with delicate peaty and lightly toasted notes.

Nose
refined, distinguished. The mineral first nose (chalk, basalt) reveals a very elegant peat and smoke. Also salty and iodine, the aroma palette overflows with fruity (pear, Mirabelle plum), vanilla and refreshingly mentholated notes. Allowed to breathe, aromas of white flowers (lilac, lily of the valley) and aromatic plants (sage, camomile) tactfully fill the air.
Palate
svelte, lively. Just as mineral as the first nose, the attack focuses on malted barley. On the mid-palate, a relatively dry peat appears alongside flavours of toast and candied lemon. Gradually, a few grains of pepper and clove bring the flavour palette more power. At the end of the palate, a very beautiful malty bitterness closes the second stage of the tasting.
Finish
long, rich. The milky start of the finish (coconut, rice pudding) is delicately honeyed (acacia), fruity (Mirabelle plum) and lemony. Tar and sleet notes then turn the focus to the end of the finish's empyreumatic character. The charming retro-nasal olfaction is flooded with the juice of a William's pear and agave. Fermentary (grist) and subtle, the empty glass stays in harmony with the nose and palate.
