The prospect of sipping a fine single malt scotch has caused a stir in the palate of many of a sophisticate. While ingesting such a splendid spirit has no doubt caused taste buds to dance around in ecstasy, it also possesses the power to inspire artistic expression. What better way to direct enthusiasm about such a luscious libation than to fashion a work of art from the very cask used to create it. For this year’s Barrel Art Initiative the folks at Glenfiddich commissioned London-based design consultancy Johnson Banks to construct pieces representative of the length it takes the various incarnations of top notch whiskey to mature. The result is an exhibit that takes advantage of every inch of the container. If you want to drink it all in, the works will be on display at the Studio Warehouse Gallery in Glasgow from November 24th to November 27th.
