The Character of Islay Whisky Company is an independent bottler of whiskies from Islay (y'know, like the name suggests), taking inspiration from the Hebridean island's landscape, culture and inhabitants. The first release in the range was Aerolite Lyndsay, of which there were whispers about during the 2019 whisky festival on Islay, before being followed by another pair of excellent expressions (Grace Île and Fiona Macleod) in 2020. Later that same year, The Character of Islay Whisky Company revealed The Stories of Wind & Range series.
