artist #8

Launched in 2011, every year the Artist range unveils a new selection of cask-strength whiskies patiently selected by La Maison du Whisky.

Selected from the most prestigious barrels of the finest independent bottlers, Signatory Vintage in particular. Some of these expressions have become cult references (for example, the famous 2013 Laphroaig 15 Year Old). Immediately recognizable, each series calls on a different artist to create the back labels and express their vision of the whiskies.

From Singapore painter Warren Kong in 2011 to French street artist Koralie in 2016, the range explores every part of the graphic. Jérémie Lenoir is a French photographer whose work focuses on what anthropologist Marc Augé called « Non-Places ». He has been exhibited throughout the world, from Canada, to India, and Luxembourg, and travelled France to reveal, through his art, aesthetic and innovative representations of the world today. He offers an objective and realist vision of the world that surrounds us. Removing important elements, like the sky, and working at 1,500 feet in a plane at midday, he uses his photography to reveal the realities of the landscape, its evolutions and mutations.
