Product description
In 2019, Bowmore Distillery and Aston Martin Lagonda Holdings decided to create editions that highlight the beauty of the iconic car brand and equally iconic whisky.
Aston Martin was founded in 1913, and its over a hundred-year history has seen seven bankruptcies. The brand's popularity was brought by James Bond, who in most episodes uses an Aston Martin equipped with gadgets from the ingenious Q. Currently, Aston Martin belongs to a private consortium and has been making profits since 2017, after a period of financial losses (engines and electric units are supplied by Mercedes-AMG). In 2021, the companies have prepared something for Travel Retail customers - Bowmore editions presented with labels inspired by Aston Martin models. Bowmore Dark & Intense 10 years old is dedicated to the Aston Martin LM10, which debuted in the Le Mans race in 1932. The whisky comes from sherry barrels made of Spanish oak.
Aroma : quite intense, salted caramels, Christmas cake, milk chocolate, bitter orange jam, a pinch of cinnamon and a gust of peat smoke.
Palate : mild, raisins, candied orange peel, maple syrup, milk chocolate, sea salt, roasted chestnuts and peat smoke in the background.
Finish: medium long, with notes of sherry, walnuts, sea salt and peat smoke.
