Mothballed by previous owners Whyte & Mackay, Bruichladdich distillery was revived in the year 2000 by indy bottler Murray McDavid. For a long time the distillery was the black sheep of Islay, on account of producing unpeated whisky in order to meet its owner's blending requirements. Contrary to general expectations though, this also made it a hit with the locals who were presumably sick of the sight of peat.
Since its resurrection, and under the guiding hand of maestro Jim McEwan, Bruichladdich hasn't shied away from experimentation in cask management, quadruple distillation, love-it-or-hate-it presentation, and the introduction of the heavily peated Port Charlotte and (REALLY heavily peated) Octomore ranges. Oh, and they make a mean gin too.
The Waves is a Jim McEwan creation that uses a combination of Bourbon and Madeira casks, and various peating levels to bombard your taste buds with "wave after wave of complex flavour". We see what you did there Jim.
This Ultimate Tasting Kit contains one 50cl bottle of Bruichladdich Waves, two 5cl bottles - one 12 Year Old, and one 15 Year Old - two branded glasses and a DVD.
46% ABV / 50cl x 1, 46% ABV / 5cl x 2
