Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep amber. This is an inference based on the Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry cask maturation and the whisky’s published dark-fruit-and-chocolate profile.
Nose: Orange peel, rich dark chocolate and mocha. This is based on the published tasting description for the release.
Palate: Deep and layered, with sherried richness, dark chocolate, nutty sweetness and Bowmore’s soft smoky core. This is based on the published flavour description and supported by the stated Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez cask maturation.
Finish: Lingering, elegant and warming, with mocha, macadamia nut richness and gentle smoke. This is based on the published tasting description for the release.
Description
Bowmore 18 Year Old Aston Martin Release 70cl, 43% is a travel-retail-exclusive Islay single malt released in partnership with Aston Martin and presented on your site as the third edition of its kind. The bottle is tied to the Aston Martin DB Mk III and sits as the 18 year old “Deep & Complex” entry in the first Bowmore Aston Martin trilogy.
Matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at 43% ABV in 70cl, this release leans into Bowmore’s darker, richer side. The published descriptions point to a whisky built around complexity, technical precision and layered flavour, with orange peel, dark chocolate, mocha and nutty richness all forming part of its character.

Collector’s Note
This bottle has strong collector appeal because it belongs to the original Bowmore Aston Martin trilogy rather than the later 2022 and 2023 follow-up releases. That gives it an important place in the collaboration timeline, especially for buyers who want the first complete set of Editions 1, 2 and 3.
It is also attractive because the 18 year old release is the deepest and most sherry-led bottle in that first trio. With the DB Mk III link, the 2021 bottling date and the Oloroso-PX cask recipe, it has a much clearer collector identity than a standard travel-retail release.
