About the offering

This is a fractional ownership offering on the Dram Invest platform for a single bottle of Bowmore 1965 52-Year-Old Scotch Whisky—one of only 232 bottles ever produced. Distilled in 1965 and released in 2017, the whisky matured for over half a century in a single oloroso sherry cask below sea level in Bowmore's legendary No.1 Vaults. It is the third oldest age-statement release from the Bowmore distillery and part of the Bowmore 50-Year-Old Vault series collection. Each bottle is serially numbered and housed in a Scottish oak cabinet. The offering sells 285 shares at $100 each ($28,500 total) via Reg CF through Dalmore Group (FINRA/SIPC broker-dealer). Past auction results for this bottle range from $23,994 (minimum) to $56,171 (maximum) across 33 recorded transactions at major auction houses including Sotheby's, Bonhams, Scotch Whisky Auctions, and Whisky Auctioneer. The deadline is May 12, 2026. The Problem Rare collectible whisky has appreciated significantly as an alternative asset class, but individual bottles of the highest quality can cost tens of thousands of dollars, putting them out of reach for most collectors and investors. A single bottle of 55-Year-Old Bowmore STAC sold for nearly $700K at auction in 2023. Fractional ownership platforms like Dram Invest allow investors to own shares in high-value collectible bottles at accessible price points ($100/share). The Solution Dram Invest enables fractional ownership of rare whisky through Regulation Crowdfunding. Investors purchase shares in a specific bottle, and returns depend on the bottle's appreciation in value over time when eventually sold at auction or through private sale. The Bowmore 1965 52-Year-Old's rarity (232 bottles), age (52 years), provenance (legendary No.1 Vaults, oloroso sherry cask), and the Bowmore distillery's 240+ year heritage as Islay's oldest licensed distillery underpin its collectible value. Business Model The offering is structured as a Reg CF equity investment in the bottle itself. The $28,500 raise covers the acquisition cost. Returns come from eventual sale of the bottle at appreciation over the purchase price. Historical auction data shows 33 transactions with a price range of $23,994-$56,171, though past performance doesn't guarantee future results. No management fees, holding costs, storage arrangements, insurance, or timeline to sale were disclosed in the available materials. Traction 285 shares offered at $100 each, 0% funded at the time of the listing capture. 33 recorded auction transactions provide price history data. Bowmore distillery has operated for 240+ years. The 2023 sale of a one-of-one Bowmore 55-Year-Old STAC for nearly $700K demonstrates the ceiling for ultra-rare Bowmore bottles. Team The offering is hosted on the Dram Invest platform (Dram Invest Ltd.) and intermediated by Dalmore Group LLC, a registered broker-dealer and FINRA/SIPC member. No specific management team, whisky experts, authentication specialists, or storage/insurance partners were disclosed in the available materials.
