Darbyshire is pleased to present an exhibition featuring McLean’s Artist Malts , showcasing works by Charles Avery, Laure Prouvost, Rodney Graham, and  Ben Rivers 
McLean’s Artist Malts is a publisher of artist editions which marry rare Scotch whisky with cutting edge contemporary artists. Each project culminates in a work that plays on sight, sound, touch, smell, and of course taste.

Nick Fleming, wine and spirits buyer for Harrods, said: “I see a similar discipline behind the creation of both great whisky and art, whereby craftsmen and women dedicate themselves to produce works to be discussed, evaluated and of course enjoyed. These strong, witty and relevant pieces are matched with liquid of real calibre.”

Since 2012, M>A>M has been inviting a pair of artists each year to create a work of art around their own small-batch, single malt Scotch whisky.  Every whisky considered has been aging for a number of years. It is then carefully selected from an independent distillery and matched to a pair of artists, whose work demonstrate an affinity to the project.  Every edition features a distinguished bottle of whisky that has undergone a second maturation in a sherry infused octave. Bottled at cask strength, this makes every drop unique to the respective artist and the edition. The work also includes an accompanying print produced by Poligrafa of Barcelona.

By appointment, May 14th – Aug 21st 2015.  Email alexandra@darbyshire.uk.com
