Distilled in November 1968 and matured for 54 years in the legendary No.1 Vaults, this release honors the art of patience, precision, and natural aging.
Created in partnership with Aston Martin, ARC 54 is both a whisky and a design statement.
Its bespoke handblown decanter is inspired by the aerodynamic flow of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, echoing both movement and stillness in its sculptural form. The design pays tribute to a shared legacy of innovation and craftsmanship.
The whisky glows with a golden hue and reveals layers of vanilla, buttery shortbread, mango, and peach. Aromas of toasted oak, orange zest, and eucalyptus mint unfold gently.
On the palate, green apple, bergamot, and lime meet salted caramel, soft florals, warming ginger, and cinnamon. A gentle touch of Islay peat smoke lingers with elegance.
With only 130 decanters available worldwide, Bowmore ARC 54 invites connoisseurs to experience a profound expression of time and artistry.
It is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bowmore’s storied past and visionary future.
Available from select retailers beginning April 3, 2025. Price available upon request.
