Bowmore arc 54 is an extraordinary and rare whisky from Bowmore, Islay's oldest licensed distillery, established in 1779. As part of the limited edition release, only 130 bottles of the arc 54 have been produced globally, which makes it a true collector's dream. This unique whisky offers a captivating blend of maritime character balanced by the gentle peat smoke signature of Bowmore distillery.
The Bowmore arc 54 has spent an incredible 54 years maturing in the legendary No.1 Vaults, the oldest whisky warehouse in Scotland, where it develops exceptional flavors. Distilled in November 1968, this whisky represents a pinnacle in the collection of any whisky connoisseur. The Master’s Blend showcases a mix of cask types — a combination of a 2nd-fill European oak Sherry butt (61.8%) and a 3rd-fill American oak hogshead (38.2%) — married together for 15 months, an intricate process inspired by the Golden Ratio.
Notably, this release marks the historic conclusion of the celebrated Bowmore x Aston Martin ARC collaboration, making it a unique addition to any collection. The presentation of the Bowmore arc 54 is just as striking as the whisky itself. It comes in The Valkyrie Decanter, a handblown, custom-sculpted piece inspired by the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar, symbolizing elegance and performance.
