BOWMORE® MASTERS’ SELECTION UNITES THE WORLDS OF WHISKY MAKING AND AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN

BOWMORE® MASTERS’ SELECTION UNITES THE WORLDS OF WHISKY MAKING AND AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN

  • New limited-edition single malt whisky combines the mastery of Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer and Bowmore’s Master Whisky Blender
  • Each Master’s unique understanding of proportionality has created a whisky with exquisite depth and balance. 
  • For the first time, Bowmore has adopted the Golden Ratio principle to create a new whisky
  • Bowmore Masters’ Selection is available from November 2021

8 November 2021, Islay, UK: A shared commitment to heritage, craftsmanship and innovation unites the worlds of whisky making and automotive design with the creation of Bowmore® Masters’ Selection; the first single malt whisky to be made by Bowmore® Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky in collaboration with Aston Martin.


Imagined and defined by two Masters; Bowmore Master Whisky Blender Ron Welsh and Aston Martin Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, Bowmore Masters’ Selection bridges two distinct worlds in a powerful, yet inspiring way. At its heart is a mutual trust and respect for one other’s worlds and a passion to discover and learn from each other.  Each Master imparts their own creativity and character, but also makes an indelible mark, like leaving their own unique fingerprint, on every single creation

Marek Reichman, has often spoken about the concept of the ‘Golden Ratio’ – the mathematical ratio found in nature that creates aesthetically pleasing compositions -, which sits at the heart of the design of every Aston Martin. Absolute beauty can be created when you achieve a perfect relationship between each proportion of the car.

Reichman explains: “Proportionality defines every precise detail of designing an Aston Martin. We are constantly striving to achieve the Golden Ratio; the optimal of proportions.  And it is this force which guides the creation of absolute beauty. To achieve this, we must combine our skill, passion and experience. Coming together with Ron just brings a whole new perspective on this and is hugely inspiring and enlightening. This whisky perfectly and harmoniously brings us together to create a beautiful, yet powerful equilibrium.”

For Bowmore, proportions define character and shape flavour combinations; from cask selection and age to blending. Ron Welsh, Master Blender, Bowmore, explains, “For the first time with this whisky, we have adopted the Golden Ratio to inspire each of the elements bringing their own unique flavours and selecting the optimal casks to forge the desired character, taking inspiration from Marek and his team.  What seems totally contrasting is, in fact, perfectly balanced and proportionate. Working with Marek has given me a new lens from which to explore whisky making.  This whisky serves as a celebration of our unified knowledge and experience; our shared passions, values and ideas.”

Taking inspiration from an engineered approach, this whisky incorporates the divine proportion of 61.8% formed from a base of 21 year old Bowmore matured in first fill Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. The remaining parts are made up of exact ratios of each other, in line with the Golden Ratio theory, and include exceptionally aged Bowmore matured for over 35 years.

For this single malt, a powerful and complex yet sweet warming, the creators seems, on the face, to have created absolute contrast but in reality, they have captured perfect balance and proportion. With a clear nod to Aston Martin in the very creation of this Bowmore whisky, it exudes a sophistication and complexity which is truly considered yet promises a thrilling taste experience.

Powerful yet elegant; from sweet to spice; sherry to coffee; honey to pepper – the perfect proportions to achieve absolute depth and balance.

Bowmore Masters’ Selection is available in key global markets including UK, Germany, Canada, USA and China at an RSP of US$300 (ex VAT/duty) from November onwards.

José Gourmet – We preserve memory and tradition

JOSÉ is a name whose origin is lost in the memory of time. Many JOSÉs, similar companies, have gone through the most remote history of humanity. Many JOSÉs became well-known in the recent past. We pay homage to all the JOSÉs that remain in our collective imaginary, as well as to those that were relevant in the anonymity of our lives.

José Gourmet – We preserve memory and tradition

It seemed befitting to evoke such a meaningful and typically Portuguese name, and at the same time, one that is so universal. JOSÉ appeared to be the smart choice for the project we started years ago. From the Hebrew root, JOSÉ is “the one who adds on”. This was our goal:

to add material and immaterial value, to expand relations between quality production and consumption quality, to increase understanding of the quality of raw materials, their nutritional potential, and the quality of the great small producers and products.

We preserve values and relationships

We are not producers. We are between those who produce with quality, and those who appreciate products that meet the requirements. Between the first and the latter, we carry out our adventure: to introduce, to add value, to promote new social and commercial relations, and new social and dietary habits among people.

We do not compete with competitors, whoever they are. We maintain an honest relationship with our suppliers and clients. Anyone who produces with commitment and responsibility, selecting good ingredients and implementing processes of excellence, deserves equal yield. We reach out to clients – or they come to us – demanding and sensitive to fair trade; people who won’t settle for anything less than the best and are willing to buy our products at fair price.

We preserve challenges and imagination

The quality of our products is the raison d’être of our company. But this quality does not exist on its own. It is surrounded by people that lead environments, traditions, values, circumstances, possibilities: it is cause and effect of ways of living, looking for the best in life. The strategies of graphic communication join in, helping to promote the vitality of this challenge. That’s the only way!

Collaborating with us is Luís Mendonça, the designer in charge of all the design and art direction of the company from the very beginning. We needed someone who would combine agility, demand, creativity and experience. Thus, the graphic project gathers several facets, articulating needs and opportunities, involving design, art, and illustration, in particular, and bringing to our get-together authors whose prestige matches the excellence of our products. Our image is, in fact, a family of images, diversified and united, where something new is always about to happen.
