For years, Bowmore spirit was nigh on impossible to get one's hands on but now… we have two from Uncharted Whisky. Two different ages, two different wood types, two ways to experience Islay’s most prestigious distillery. This release is 11 years old, first fill bourbon maturation, and at natural cask strength 56.7%. What Set’s This Apart? Variation. Natural variation. It’s ideal for colour, flavour, and ABV to change because whisky lovers like us want a natural product presented exactly as it is. Jack and Dana at Uncharted call it minimal intervention whisky (to borrow a term from the wine world who recognised the people’s desire a long time before Scotch did!). So what’s different? The unique nature of these particular casks; the colour, the natural cask strength, the age, and the chance to try two sister bottlings side by side - Bowmore One Way Or Another - 11 or 21 – first fill or refill bourbon cask. What’s In A Name? Jack and Dana love a rock n roll reference, and these two sister bottlings allow you to experience spirit born of the same stills but maturated differently, for different periods of time, producing indie Bowmore “One Way Or Another”. The Specifics? Distilled in June of 2015 on Islay, bottled in Alexandria the first week in August 2026. This release is made up of two first fill ex- Jim Beam barrels disgorged and vatted to marry together for weeks before bottling at natural cask strength and colour. There’s 565 bottles from this batch which isn’t a lot over 13 countries!
