Uncharted Whisky Co. Bowmore 11 Years Old – Refill Bourbon – 54.1% ABV

ISLAY PEAT THROUGH A BOURBON LENS
Bowmore sits on the shores of Loch Indaal in the heart of Islay, and it has been making whisky since 1779. That makes it one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland. Its spirit carries the island’s signature peat smoke, but with a rounder, more maritime character than the heavy hitters on Islay’s south coast.

Uncharted’s “One Way Or Another” takes that Bowmore spirit and lets a first fill ex-Jim Beam bourbon barrel shape it for 11 years. No sherry influence, no wine cask finish. Just Islay spirit and American oak. The bourbon barrel amplifies the cereal sweetness and honey while the Bowmore peat stays present underneath: salty, coastal, never overpowering.
