The Bowmore Arc-52 Mokume Edition gets its name from the Japanese metalworking technique “mokume-gane,” which translates to “wood grain metal.” Aston Martin designed the striking, futuristic-looking decanter with a carbon-fiber top that recalls mokume-gane aesthetics; its mixed-metal laminate resembles the wood-like texture associated with the technique.
It also calls to mind the layered, natural black rocks that can be found in the bay of Loch Indaal, where Bowmore Distillery is situated, as well as the charred inside of the casks in which the whiskey was distilled for over half a century.
The overall result is a gorgeous, unique decanter that, like Aston Martin vehicles, can’t help but draw attention to itself. “As makers of bespoke and beautiful objects,” says Marek Reichman, executive vice president and CCO of Aston Martin, “proportion, shape, and form, along with careful selection of colors and materials, are incredibly important to us at Aston Martin.”
Paying homage to Bowmore’s contribution, he adds, “We think the vessel containing this magnificent whiskey reflects the rarity and distinctiveness of the precious spirit found inside.”
