This painting is a personal quest to communicate the impressive and meaningful character of Mortlach whisky. Full of symbolism and fun, it shows my take on an imaginative concept to encapsulate a mysterious and distinct spirit.
Built with the traditional pagoda designed by Charles Doig, Mortlach Distillery hails from the dark side of Speyside and is affectionately known as 'The Beast" of Dufftown for its robust and characterful whisky.

The bottle has an architectural memory, with strong shoulders and a very geometric shape, which contains the bold and unique spirit that emerges from a very particular distillation of 2.81 times that passes through 6 stills, including The Wee Witchie, the smallest and most magical.
