La Maison du Whisky: Stories from a Whisky Merchant
Presented by Arthur Morbois, Former Director of La Maison du Whisky Singapore
Founded in Paris in 1956, La Maison du Whisky (LMDW) is one of the oldest and most respected spirits merchants in France and continental Europe. Still family-owned, the company has grown into a cornerstone of the global whisky world—renowned for its discerning cask selections, its role as importer and distributor of the world’s finest brands, and for creating Whisky Live Paris, the largest whisky festival in Europe.
In this masterclass, Arthur Morbois will share his insights from years at the helm of LMDW Singapore, offering a rare insider’s perspective into the merchant world: how relationships are built with distilleries, how exceptional casks are discovered and chosen, and how LMDW continues to shape whisky culture globally.
The line-up for this session is a showcase of LMDW’s influence and access to some of the rarest casks and collaborations:
Ledaig 10 Years Old 2004 – Artist #5 by LMDW (60.4%, Batch 1, 588 Bottles)
