# Myth-Inspired Scotch Whiskeys The 'Bowmore No Corners to Hide' is a Limited Edition Range By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-10-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowmore-no-corners-to-hide References: [thespiritsbusiness](https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2021/10/bowmore-unveils-mythical-whisky-series/) & [bowmore](https://www.bowmore.com/node/16) Scotch whiskey maker [Bowmore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowmore-islay) has announced the release of 'Bowmore No Corners to Hide,' a new range of single malts that takes inspiration from an ancient Islay myth. The new collection consists of two bespoke whiskies: a 23- and 32-year-old expression. Both versions are delivered in beautifully designed black and gold packaging that presents mythical illustrations created by [Marvel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huf-x-marvel-1) and [DC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-happiness-sandwiches) comics artist Frank Quitely. “To get the call from Bowmore, a legendary icon in the world of whisky, offering me the opportunity of retelling the Islay Legend No Corners to Hide was hugely exciting," said Frank Quitely in a recent statement. The 23-year old version was aged in ex-Bourbon American oak hogsheads before maturing for two years in Essencia barriques. Meanwhile, the 30-year old expression underwent a similar process but presents slightly darker tasting notes due to its prolonged time spent aging in ex-bourbon barrels.
