No Smoke – NO PEAT – RUBY PORT CASK – Natural Colour – SINGLE MALT
Lying at the at the foot of the mighty Ben Nevis mountain lies the aptly named Ben Nevis distillery. This giant has a rich history producing many different styles of whisky over the years, however, this single cask in an un-peated beauty aged in ex-ruby port barrique.
The rich and full bodied highland spirit was initially aged in ex-bourbon barrel before we transferred the spirit into a freshly imported ruby port cask to finish the maturation. Interestingly, the Uncharted Whisky Syndicate was given the option to vote on what kind of cask we would use to finish the maturation; port, sherry, bourbon, madeira, or marsala. Port cask was the clear winner in the democratic vote and what an influence it has had. The whisky is bright cherry red with an abundance of fruity flavours.
WHAT IS the uncharted syndicate?
The Uncharted Whisky Syndicate is a collection of whisky lovers. Jack and Dana, the sole owners and operators of Uncharted Whisky have curated a small collection of super interesting casks. Anybody can go on to the Uncharted Whisky website and buy a share of any of the casks on offer. One full share entitles you to 4 bottles from the cask when it is eventually bottled at it’s pre-arranged date. Bowie is the very first syndicate cask to reach it’s bottling age. Now that all the share owners have been allocated their bottles, we are delighted to offer the remaining bottles for sale to you.
If you are already a member of the Syndicate, then you should have received a discount code for this bottling already. If you want to become part of the Syndicate, simply buy a share of one of the rather cool cask shares on offer here.
WHAT IS IN A NAME?
We have a lot of fun with the Uncharted Syndicate. We believe that if we’re not having fun, we’re doing it wrong… All the syndicate casks have been named after our favourite rockstars- have a look at the others here. We’ve always loved David Bowie and we’ve always loved Ben Nevis whisky, it’s not anymore complex than that!
As always…. Un-filtered. Natural colour.

Nose
Bright red cherries, fresh plums and a breadiness accompany a little hint of tangerine and walnuts.
Palate
The taste is zingy with port fruitiness, mellowing to an oak influence, a touch of malted milk and butter.
Finish
The bright acidic fruit hangs around for ages before finally sailing off into the sunset leaving a mellow and oaky warmth.
