Description

An incredibly rare and highly sought-after 54-year-old single malt from Bowmore distillery, this Aston Martin ARC-54 expression is the final release in the groundbreaking ARC series. Distilled in November 1968 and matured for over half a century in a combination of second-fill European oak sherry butts and third-fill American oak hogsheads, it was then married for 15 months before bottling in 2025. Presented in a remarkable handblown decanter inspired by the aerodynamic design of the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar, this limited edition of only 130 bottles worldwide showcases Bowmore's ability to age gracefully, offering a complex and multi-dimensional character with soft Islay smoke, decadent butterscotch, and rich tropical fruits.
