Compass Box Artist #11 Pentalogy Set (Confidence / Fortitude / Generosity / Wisdom / Wonder) with Gift Box
The Artist Range is a yearly range of independently bottled single malts and whiskies, released by French whisky giant La Maison Du Whisky. For their 11th Artist Range, they found Scottish master blenders Compass Box willing to bottle a range exclusively under the Artist #11 label, which has resulted in five truly amazing blended Scottish malts: Confidence, Fortitude, Generosity, Wisdom and Wonder, together known as the Compass Box Confidence Artist #11 Pentalogy. The artworks adorning the five bottles are created by surrealist artist Charlotte Massip. She draws inspiration from the anatomic drawings of Vesalius, the machines of Leonardo da Vinci, and Dürer’s engravings. By combining historical references and modern elements, a unique contemporary work arises.
