Oscar Wilde wrote that \u201cwe live in an age when
\nunnecessary things are our only necessities\u201d. The age in question was the late nineteenth century, when the Aesthetic Movement gave rise to the Decadent Movement, where more was always more. Art was made for the sake of art; there were no ulterior motives. Similarly, a whisky like Art & Decadence may not be strictly a necessity \u2013 and that is the whole, glorious point.<\/p>\n
The Aesthetic Movement, begun in the latter half of the 19th century, witnessed a change in the subject matter and influences of western art. It gave rise to the Decadent Movement, where ornamentation and the superfluous flourish were prized; iconography and patterns from other cultures were layered in complex compositions, and a new sensuality began to emerge.<\/p>\n
This is the era of Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley \u2013 abundance, delight and pleasure were art\u2019s watchwords. The dandy was reborn, the peacock became a cultural symbol, and gold was everywhere. Beauty, excess and ornamentation have been our focuses with the extraordinary label and outer packaging for Art & Decadence. A whisky of such decadent flavours merits a decadent design.<\/p>\n
Rich and aromatic on the nose with red apples, waxed wood and wine notes. Creamy, with a liquorice aroma. Banana, toffee and custard blended with Sauternes. On the palate, notes of
\ndried fruit \u2013 golden raisin, apricot, apple and plenty of vanilla. Lingering flavours of dark chocolate and fragrant oak.<\/p>\n
RECOMMENDATIONS
\nDinner\u2019s final course \u2013 when the puddings, cakes, tarts, jellies, chocolates and cheeses emerge \u2013 is typically the moment for true decadence. This whisky compliments this very important juncture in the meal.<\/p>\n
