Bowmore Arc-54
Islay's Bowmore distillery and luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin take their collaboration to new heights with ARC-54, a mighty single malt matured for a phenomenal 54 years!
This whisky doesn't come in a bottle, it comes in a glass sculpture! The shape emulates both the aerodynamic design of Aston Martin's Valkyrie sports car and the natural form of the Islay landscape.
This next step in a continuous collaboration between two huge names is a milestone release, but due to the scarcity of it, we’re inviting registrations of interest now.

Bowmore Arc-54
Aged for a phenomenal 54 years in a pair of second-fill European oak sherry butts and a third-fill American oak hogshead before marrying for 15 months, Bowmore Arc-54 is housed in sculpted glass that emulates both the aerodynamic design of Aston Martin's Valkyrie sports car and the natural form of the Islay landscape, enhancing the flowing reflections of the whisky within.
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Alluring sweet, syrupy vanilla merges with soft butterscotch and buttery shortbread then gives way to tropical mango and sweet peach notes, before welcoming subtle hints of orange zest, toasted oak, candied walnuts and finely chopped eucalyptus mint.
Palate:
Led by rich fruity sweetness giving a depth of expressive character, it is freshly cut green apple, delicate citric tones of bergamot orange and lime juice which provide the opening act to taste. Flavours of salted caramel are complimented by floral notes as warming spices of ginger and sweet cinnamon lead to a gentle crescendo of whispering peat smoke.
Finish:
Intense yet lavish, long and smooth with sweet, herbal and peated character.
