Full set of Artist #10 & Artist #10 International.

As every year since 2011, the Artist range reveals an exceptional collection of whiskeys selected with rigor and requirement by La Maison du Whisky. The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Artist range honors the distilleries of Scotland, of course, but also opens up to the diversity of whiskies from all over the world, including Australia, Taiwan, Wales and France. From the careful selection of whiskies to the graphic interpretation by a promising artist, each Artist range is the subject of intense reflection. The stunning labels for the two Artist Scotland and Artist International 10th Anniversary series were produced by artists Sei Arimori and Eric Robin.
There is also an extremely rare KARUIZAWA 1999 ARTIST 10TH Anniversary for which Warren Khong is the author of the label. It has been specially bottled for the 10th anniversary of the Artist range.

The Karuizawa distillery was small but celebrated for its exceptional malt whisky. An example is the Karuizawa Artist 1999 2018 LMDW 58,8%, with only 313 bottles available.

Such a diverse collection of rare bottles in one set calls for a word on its origin and the name of the collection itself.

Artist 10th Anniversary Full Collection

This collection of bottles will delight any collector of rare spirits. All have been specially bottled for the 10th anniversary of the Artist range.

As with many other alternative investments like gold, fine wine, and art, the value of whiskies and other bottled spirits largely stems from their limited supply combined with increasing demand.

The principle of “less is more” applies significantly to highly rated whiskey. The scarcer it is in the market, the higher its price tends to be.

The finest whiskies involve intricate, time-intensive production methods. Variations in the quality of ingredients and the expertise of the producer lead to notable differences in the quality and flavor of a whiskey, which ultimately influences its price. Appearing in the La Maison Du Whisky Artist 10th Anniversary collection Macallan 1990 30 year old 53,5% 700 ml, Bunnahabhain 2009 10 year old 67,1% 700 ml, or Benrinnes 2005 15 year old 55,9% 700 ml are examples of such bottles. In addition to these, it is also worth remembering Imperial 1995 aged 25 year old 57% 700 ml.

What else to look out for when investing in rare spirits?

Another crucial factor is the aging process. Generally, the older the whiskey, the higher its price, though this is not always the case. It is therefore worth looking more closely at bottles such as Kornog 2006 10 year old 59,5% or Kavalan 2010 10 year old 57,8% 700 ml. In addition to these, it is also worth remembering Pendryn 2010 10 year old 60,8% 700 ml 700 ml and Chichibu 2009 10 year old 56,5% 700 ml.
