Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky has launched its prestigious ARC-54, a collaboration with Aston Martin, featuring a global anthem by writer and poet Sophia Thakur. The anthem, inspired by the whisky’s ability to capture moments of stillness, was performed at the global reveal in London. This marks a new chapter for Bowmore, inviting a fresh interpretation of its 240-year heritage.
The ARC-54, limited to 130 bottles worldwide, offers a multi-dimensional drinking experience with zesty citric tones, floral notes, and a signature whisper of peat smoke. The decanter design draws inspiration from the Aston Martin Valkyrie’s aerodynamics and the natural landscapes of Islay. Dr Calum Fraser, Bowmore’s chief blender, emphasised the importance of slowing down and appreciating the craft: “A Bowmore as exquisite and complex as this 54-year-old is testament to the skills of our distillery team, but also the very embodiment of what can be achieved simply by slowing down.”
In Singapore, Bowmore will also release The Bowmore Sherry Oak Collection in April, showcasing the mastery of European oak Sherry casks. The collection includes 12, 15, and 18-Year-Old expressions, each enhancing Bowmore’s rich character with layers of depth and complexity.
The ARC-54 and Sherry Oak Collection highlight Bowmore’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, promising a unique experience for whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
