Comic book creator Frank Quitely has worked in a promotional capacity for a number of years with whisky producer Bowmore os the island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, on a number of limited edition whiskies, with Quitely drawn on to draw a number of pieces to accompany the bottles and labels, and even appear in a number of videos. This is a very elitist audience, indeed one of the videos that clearly had quite the production budget has only been seen by 151 people. But if they all bought a bottle at $400 a pop, then it probably paid for itself.

The first, from 2021, No Corners to Hide, portrayed the sighting of the devil. The second, The Changeling, details the legend of the Blacksmith’s son. The most recent release, Lovers Transformed, tells of the forbidden love between the daughter of a Pictish King and a captured Celtic warrior whose journey to unite ends tragically at sea off Islay’s coast. “To continue to tell these incredible stories through such awe-inspiring and special whiskies is both hugely exciting and rewarding for me,” Quitely said. “We started from a different place this time, with a very different narrative to bring to life, but I needed to make sure this was an evolution from No Corners to Hide. The whiskies themselves are captivating and it’s vital to me that I do them justice in my work.”  Bottler are sold in Paris, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dubai, Singapore, Taipei, London Heathrow, New York, and the island of Hainan.
