The new 860v2 collaboration draws heavy inspiration from Australia's diverse landscapes, incorporating a palette of hues reminiscent of lush forests, coastal waters, and vast terrains.
"We are always drawn to the forest, to nature," says Caitlin Bartlemay, master distiller at Hood River, Oregon's Clear Creek distillery. "Even though we don't always get to spend time outdoors." This sentiment encapsulates the evolving relationship between nature and the spirits industry, emphasizing how distillers are inspired by the woodland landscapes that may not always be accessible to them.
'This is a museum without borders... A museum without a map,' shares Toshiyuki Inoko, founder of teamLab, at the inauguration.
