Commenting on the launch, Dr Sam Simmons, Head of Whisky at Atom Brands, said: “As an independent bottler, we don’t have a distillery story to tell that informs the contents of each bottling. Instead, we have created whiskies and selected casks that let the contents of the glass inspire your stories, the stories that we can each own and truly share. In a way these are the stories we all tell when we return from our pilgrimages to islay. These are the stories you want to tell, they’re yours. How we see it is you don’t have to be ON Islay to be a part of our story, it begins the moment you throw the cork away. Wind & Wave, like the breeze or the tide, will be released periodically when we uncover casks of exceptional, notable or unrepeatable quality.”
The first batch of bottlings in the new Character of Islay Whisky Company Wind & Wave Collection, are now available via Master of Malt.
