Manufacturer's Notes: For Ashton Martin it is a restless perpetuity which defines the ambition, redefining and evolving as we realise the most incredible cars capable of unimaginable feats of engineering and breathtaking performance. Our quest is without compromise and could be called obsessive, but that is what makes us relentless in our approach. Like Ron and his team, we never stop short or settle for anything but the best to achieve the optimal intensity which defines us. This whisky is testament to theirr passion, talent and endless skill. I remain eternally inspired by the whisky making process and believe this masterpiece of flavour creation perfectly captures the spirit of Ashton Martin. -- Marek Reichman, EVP & Chief Creative Officer, Ashton Martin Lagonda Ltd.

In the creation of every individual Bowmore, we undertake an endless search for depth; of character, of flavour and with every step we capture the very essence of the past 240 years. This stunning whisky celebrates this defining constant which drives, inspires and immerses us in this quest. Working with Marek and his team has highlighted how this is fundamental to both our creative processes and outcomes. It is my absolute pleasure to be able to work with Marek  as we challenge ourselves and our perceptions together, learning and growing as we go, this is without doubt the most exhilarating and rewarding of collaborations. -- Ron Welsh, Master Blender, Bowmore
