The striking DBX Bowmore Edition has been created by the marque’s personalisation service, Q by Aston Martin, in celebration of the partnership between the two British luxury brands. Just 18 DBX Bowmore models will be built before they are delivered to customers at a private lifestyle experience in Scotland.
The DBX Bowmore Edition 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. Customers will have the option to choose an alternative exterior
paint colour should they so wish. Xenon Grey paint, which displays a
blue metallic fleck throughout, will be offered as an additional
exterior option. Bowmore-branded copper inlays using copper from the
original whisky still have been used to accent the side strakes of the
DBX, as a nod to the traditions maintained by the company.
Optional
black brake calipers provide a subtlety to the smoked wheels and the
overall elegance of the exterior is highlighted by both script and wing
Aston Martin badges and Q by Aston Martin fender badges.
Customers
can choose either the Obsidian Monotone or Copper Tan Metallic/Obsidian
Duotone interior, both choices accented throughout by flashes of
Bowmore Tweed, reflecting the company’s Islay ancestry. Created by the
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 its island home.
In addition, the interior holds
many Q by Aston Martin design details such as polished copper
cupholders, and sill plaques, made of recycled copper from the original
Bowmore still. 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.
Launched in 2019, the DBX celebrates the Aston Martin design language in a new form. With a unique body architecture engineered just for the DBX, the design and proportions reflect unmistakable style. The 5-seater SUV provides a world of luxury, and features a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, tuned to deliver 550 hp and 700 Nm 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.
Each of the 18 DBX Bowmore owners will be invited to an exclusive Aston Martin Art of Living experience in Scotland. Guests will travel to Edinburgh where they will be presented with their own special edition DBX, before embarking on a 170-mile road trip through the spectacular Scottish countryside, taking in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park before driving onto the ferry bound for Islay.
Alongside a trip to Islay Woollen Mill and fine-dining throughout their three-night stay, owners will be treated to a private tour of the Bowmore Distillery. 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. They will also be given exclusive access to the No 1 Vaults the oldest maturation warehouse in the world which has played host to a number of VIP’s over the years, including members of the Royal Family.
Aston Martin’s unique partnership with Bowmore has already created ‘Black Bowmore DB5 1964’, bringing together an exceptional single malt and a genuine piston from the legendary Aston Martin DB5. As the two iconic brands continue to collaborate, further luxury products and incredible lifestyle experiences will follow.
The Q by Aston Martin DBX Bowmore Edition is on sale globally now and customer deliveries will take place in Q4 2021.
