READ THE STORYLimited to 1,817 bottles in honor of the distillery’s founding year, Wave II carries a retail price of £125. The whisky is available exclusively at Bladnoch Distillery and through bladnoch.com with shipping to over 30 countries.
Wave II follows the June 2024 release of Wave I: Time & Maturation, which focused on selecting casks at peak maturation. The innovative series uses five Amontillado sherry tuns filled with various whisky combinations. Each year’s remaining whisky is decanted into the following year’s tun, creating the “wave effect” that gives the collection its name.
