The Artist #15 range, The Dark Side of the Moon, explores the profound influence of Andalusian sherry maturation through six single casks distilled between 1989 and 2015. Featuring malts from Speyside (Benrinnes, Linkwood, Mortlach, and a mystery distillery) and the Highlands (Ben Nevis, Ardmore), the series ranges from Oloroso to Pedro Ximénez finishes. The title pays homage to both the 1970s rock classic and a legendary 1990s Velier Glen Grant series, bridging the gap between historical tradition and modern curation.

The collection is visually defined by South African artist Sthenjwa Luthuli, whose contemporary Zulu-inspired aesthetic transforms hand-carved, painted wooden panels into hypnotic, optical compositions. Notably, the artwork for the "Dark Side of the Moon" bottling is sourced directly from Luca Gargano’s private collection, symbolizing the deep intersection of fine art and rare whisky within this release.

Cloaked in the enigmatic title The Dark Side of the “M,” this 20-year-old single malt emerges from the shadows of one of Speyside’s most storied distilleries, an icon established in 1824. It is a spirit of profound nobility and whispered secrets, revealing a palette that thrives in a landscape of magnificent contrasts.

The journey begins in a fragrant haze of mimosa and iris before descending into deep, shadowed fruit registers that draw haunting parallels to a venerable, long-forgotten fruit eau-de-vie. It is a masterful exploration of the unseen, where every sip uncovers a new layer of its complex, shifting soul.
