With a commitment to heritage, craftsmanship and innovation, a new partnership is born. In a strive for perfection, Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky and legendary automaker Aston Martin have partnered to develop their first co-created single malt whisky.
“This whisky perfectly and harmoniously brings us together to create a beautiful, yet powerful equilibrium”
Marek Reichman, Chief Creative officer and executive Vice President, Aston Martin
Aside from the beautifully crafted bottle, at the heart of this co-creation is the concept of the Golden Ratio. Proportionality guides and inspires every aspect of the design and creation process. For example, the whisky is formed from a base of 21 Year Old Bowmore matured in first fill Pedro Ximenex and Oloroso sherry casks.

“For this single malt, a powerful and complex yet sweet warming, the creators seem, on the surface, to have created absolute contrast, but in reality, they have captured perfect balance and proportion,” says Canadian Bowmore Brand Ambassador, James Neil. “With a clear nod to Aston Martin in the very creation of this Bowmore whisky, it exudes a sophistication and complexity which is truly considered yet promises a thrilling taste experience.”
