Bowmore ARC‑54 – The ultimate luxury whisky in collaboration with Aston Martin

Bowmore ARC‑54 is not just a whisky – it’s a masterpiece. Distilled back in November 1968 and slowly matured over five decades, this is a bottle that encapsulates the essence of time, patience and exceptional craftsmanship.

Created in a distinguished collaboration between the iconic Bowmore distillery and the Aston Martin brand, ARC‑54 exudes both elegance and innovation. The whisky is matured in a unique combination of second-fill European sherry casks and third-fill American bourbon hogsheads, and the final 15 months of finishing bring a harmonious balance between cask, spirit and character.

A scent journey without equal

Bowmore ARC‑54 opens with sweet and inviting aromas: syrupy vanilla and buttery cookies immediately awaken the senses. Notes of tropical mango, ripe peach and orange zest add complexity to the nose, supported by toasted wood notes, walnuts and a fresh whiff of eucalyptus leaves.

World-class tasting experience

On the palate, this whisky unfolds with a soft, lively fruity acidity of green apple, bergamot and lime. Deeper notes of salted caramel, floral nuances and warm spices such as ginger and cinnamon follow, before the characteristic Islay smoke gently creeps in and completes the whole with an almost poetic finesse.

Finish with depth and soul

The aftertaste is intense and long – silky and calm, but with a wealth of character. Sweet herbs, delicate smoke and a harmonious overall picture make the finish unforgettable.
