Uncharted Whisky Co 8 Years Old Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2017 46% Vol. 0,7l

The Uncharted Whisky Co. 8 Years Old Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2017, known as the Blue Collection 8 Year Old, marks the debut of the new core range from the independent Scottish bottler Uncharted Whisky Co. For this small-batch release, carefully selected ex-Bourbon barrels from the Aultmore Distillery were blended together. Distilled in 2017, this Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured for a total of 8 years, with the Bourbon barrels highlighting the distillate’s original character. Aultmore is located in Scotland’s Speyside region and is known for a comparatively clean, elegant distillate character. The bottling has an alcohol content of 46% and presents itself as a non-smoky, approachable single malt with a clear focus on the ex-Bourbon barrels used.

Behind this bottling is Uncharted Whisky, an independent Scottish whisky bottler that releases selected casks from various Scottish distilleries under its own name. The focus is on small-batch single malt Scotch whiskies and limited releases, in which origin, cask selection, and individual character play a central role. Many of the company’s bottlings are presented with as little intervention as possible; depending on the release, chill filtration and artificial coloring are avoided. The Blue Collection Aultmore 8 Years Old combines this concept with maturation focused on ex-Bourbon casks, offering an affordable introduction to Uncharted Whisky’s core range. As such, the 0.7-liter bottling from the 2017 vintage is ideal both for getting to know this independent bottler and for enthusiasts of younger, cask-forward Speyside single malts.
