Art & Decadence is crafted using malt whisky from the Balmenach Distillery, which has been finished for almost a year in three different types of ex-wine casks - Madeira, Sauternes, and Marsala. These wine casks contribute flavors of juicy fruit and honey to the inherent sweetness of the Balmenach whisky. Additionally, the blend includes malt whisky from the Linkwood Distillery that has been aged in Palo Cortado sherry-seasoned casks, as well as malt whisky from the Glen Moray Distillery that has been finished in Oloroso sherry-seasoned casks. Finally, grain whisky from the now-closed Port Dundas Distillery has been added to provide a smooth and glossy texture.
