While we would never recommend mixing driving and alcohol, the latest from the house of Aston Martin proves to be an exception. The British marque has come together with legendary single malt whisky distillery, Bowmore. A DBX SUV by nature, the limited edition car is created by the marque’s personalisation service, Q by Aston Martin, that celebrates the participation between the two British brands. Limited to only 18 examples of the Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition, all of these SUVs would be delivered to customers at a private lifestyle experience in Scotland at Bowmore’s Islay heritage. During this very special tour, they will have the opportunity to hand-fill their own bottle of a 39-year-old, specially selected Bowmore straight from the cask.
DBX Bowmore Edition captures the essence of two luxury British brands in a seamless way.

Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Executive Vice President Chief Creative Officer said: “Aston Martin DBX has provided the perfect canvas for the highest level of Q by Aston Martin customisation. The Aston Martin and Bowmore brands share the same vision of creating timeless beauty and a lasting legacy, loyal to their heritage but also embracing new methods and this is reflected in the DBX Bowmore edition. Strips from the copper whiskey stills are inlaid into the side strakes and Bowmore Tweed accents the interior, Q by Aston Martin has once again created a beautiful, limited edition Aston Martin.”

The Bowmore DBX is enrobed in a striking paint colour, named Bowmore Blue, an existing archive colour which has been brought back exclusively by Q by Aston Martin for this car. Xenon Grey paint, a blue metallic or Bowmore-branded copper, inlays using copper from the original whisky still have been used to accent the side strakes of the DBX, are two other alternative colours to choose. Customers can also opt for the black brake callipers that provide a subtlety to the smoked wheels. The script and wing Aston Martin badges and Q by Aston Martin fender badges add to the overall elegance of the exterior.

For the interiors, customers can choose either the Obsidian Monotone or Copper Tan Metallic/Obsidian Duotone interior. The DBX Bowmore Edition interiors are accented throughout by flashes of Bowmore Tweed, world-renowned Islay Woollen Mill, which was first established in 1883. The subtle and sophisticated design incorporates copper and blue inspired by the island’s terroir and lochs, making it inherently unique to Bowmore and the company’s Islay ancestry. Additionally, polished copper cupholders, and sill plaques, made of recycled copper from the original Bowmore are seen in the interiors. The gloss black centre console trim inlay features bespoke hand-laid, copper foil detailing. Each car comes with a selection of specially designed Q by Aston Martin accessories such as a Bowmore tweed picnic blanket and leather holdall.

The 5-seater SUV provides a world of luxury and features a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, tuned to deliver 550PS and 700Nm of torque, providing the exhilaration of a modern GT. While it’s not a traditional Aston Martin sports car, the DBX is everything an Aston Martin should be: beautiful, hand-built and technologically-advanced. The Q by Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition is on sale globally now and customer deliveries will take place in Q4 2021.
