BOWMORE X ASTON MARTIN + 52 YEARS = $75,000

The latest collaboration between Bowmore whisky and Aston Martin may look like it came from the future, but it took the long route from the past to get here. Distilled in 1968, Arc-52 spent 52 years maturing (50% in European oak sherry butt, 50% in American oak ex-bourbon hogshead)—and it’s worth the wait. The result is 100 bottles of a mellow Islay single malt that’s light on smoke, allowing the sweet fruit and citrus flavors to come through. As for Arc-52’s unique decanter, it was designed by Aston Martin engineers and requires a magnetic key fob to unlock its mysteries. And at $75,000 a bottle, you’ll be in no rush to finish it.
