Illusion Series - [Introduction to the Artwork]
《The Distant Coast》
In this painting depicting the sea and the stone gate, the artist aims to capture the intertwined feelings of wonder and awe experienced when stepping into a brand new, mysterious region during a journey. The scene before the eyes seems familiar, yet it is unbelievably strange, forcing one to pause and soak it in for a while to adjust before one can begin to explore.

【Introduction of Distillery】
The Aultmore Distillery was founded in 1896 and has a history spanning over a century. Located in the Speyside region, it sits approximately 5 kilometers from the center of Keith. A major renovation took place in the 1970s, doubling the number of stills from two to four, which significantly increased production capacity. For a long time, almost all of Aultmore's spirit was used for blended whiskies, with an official bottling not being released until 2014. While independent bottlings do exist, they are not particularly numerous compared to other distilleries of the same type in Speyside. Currently, it belongs to the Bacardi group. When Bacardi acquired Dewar’s from Diageo, they reportedly stated that they would rather abandon the deal if it did not include Aultmore, which highlights the distillery's critical status within the group.
