Aston Martin Announce Whiskey partnership

Luxury car maker Aston Martin has announced its first collaboration with whisky maker Bowmore.

Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky and the Warwickshire automotive giant have launched the Black Bowmore DB5 1964.

Only 25 bottles will be for sale and are priced at £50,000/€55,321 each.

The move comes after the partnership was first announced in November 2019.

David Turner, distillery manager at Bowmore, said: "1964 represents a significant date in the modern history of the distillery. Not only a key moment in how we distilled our spirit, but perhaps even more significant as this very spirit went onto create Black Bowmore.

"These defining moments are fundamental to the history of Bowmore. This collaboration with Aston Martin has allowed us to once again showcase this iconic single malt in the most incredible way."

Marek Reichman, executive vice president and chief creative officer of Aston Martin Lagonda, added: "This exciting new association with Bowmore gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate a vital part of our star-studded history by combining the unrivalled appeal of the iconic DB5 with the cultured flavours of this world-renowned single malt."

Black Bowmore DB5 1964 will be available from late autumn 2020.
