LMDW Artist #7 Velier 70th Anniversary Blended Compass Box Artist Collection Whisky

Compass Box Artist Collection #7 / Velier 70th Anniversary La Maison du Whisky, aka LMDW, was founded in 1956 by Georges Benitah and is now one of the largest whisky and rum importers and distributors in France, and known the world over. They opened their first shop in Paris at the legendary 20 Rue d'Anjou in 1968, importing their first Scotch malt whiskies in the 1970s. They are known for their expertise in not only Scotch, but Japanese whisky and rum too, and their collaborative bottlings, as well as their own independent labels like this one, are highly prized. A cool limited edition, this Compass Box blend was bottled by La Maison du Whisky as part of their Artist Collection, for the 70th anniversary of Italian importer and independent bottler, Velier... Compass Box is a blending company founded in 2000 by John Glaser, a former marketing director for the Johnnie Walker brand. Their core range consists of The Spice Tree, The Peat Monster, Oak Cross, Asyla and Hedonism blends, and they regularly produce limited editions as well. The company prides itself on its boundary-pushing approach to its creations, and on occasion, boundary-crossing creations, such as the original Spice Tree in 2005 which was banned for its use of suspended staves in casks. The label features an artwork from Lino di Vinci. One of 1,920 bottles.
