Artesia 2018 is a particularly generous, malty and fruity whiskey. Impeccable mastery of the brew and a long fermentation result in an elegant and exotic single malt. Its aromas are particularly well highlighted by aging in bourbon barrels. American oak adds notes of coconut and vanilla to an exotic fruit cocktail (pineapple, persimmon, yuzu).

Nose: Intensely fruity and exotic, the nose opens with notes of pineapple, banana and candied yuzu. The raw material is also present: it translates into flavors of porridge and cereal bread! After a long fermentation and column distillation, all that remains of the peat is a light and elegant veil of smoke that envelops the whole, accompanied by delicate notes of white flowers and granny apple.
Palate: Creamy and just as fruity as the nose suggested, the palate softens aromas of persimmon, quince and juicy pear that share the attack with notes of lemon pie and apple candy! Fresh, the palate offers subtle notes of mint and chlorophyll which work wonderfully with more pastry notes (vanilla flan and coconut).
Overall: Short but straightforward, the finish emphasizes notes of ripe fruit (mango, pineapple) before returning to cereals with aromas of fresh malt accompanied by a fleeting smoky sensation.
