Earlier this year, Bladnoch Distillery launched The Wave, the second chapter within its Master Distiller’s whisky Collection after the Waterfall Series.
To embark on The Wave journey, Dr Nick Savage selected five 1,500 litre Amontillado sherry tuns, each filled with whiskies from various combinations of cask types to marry together from the distillery’s 207-year-old bluestone warehouses.
Each year the cask types will be revealed and depict another pillar of Bladnoch whisky making. The remaining whisky will be decanted into the following year’s tun, creating a common thread and a wave effect throughout the series, with the fifth and final release featuring components from the full collection.

The first Amontillado sherry tun used to craft Wave I: Time & Maturation was filled with a combination of ex-bourbon casks from Bladnoch’s maturing stocks, married with the remaining whisky from Waterfall 05 2024 Edition of the first Master Distiller’s Collection.
Over the course of five years, each release in The Wave series will be accompanied by a music track which represents the whisky’s unique journey and signifies how each cask takes notes from the other, building year on year. The piano composition released with Wave I: Time & Maturation reflects how the whiskies develop over time.
Bottled at 53.8% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in colour, Wave I: Time & Maturation opens with floral pine needles, fresh cut oak on the nose and imparts notes of sweet oak and toasted coconut on the palate, with a sweet, warm, refreshing finish.
The edition is limited to 1,817 bottles in tribute to the year the distillery was founded and it represents a great jumping on point for single malt collectors. It sells for £150.
