Reichman explains: “Proportionality defines every preci- se detail of designing an Aston Martin. We are constantly striving to achieve the Golden Ratio; the optimal of pro- portions. 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 har- moniously brings us together to create a beautiful, yet powerful equilibrium.” For Bowmore, proportions define character and shape fla- vour combinations; from cask selection and age to blen- ding. Ron Welsh, Master Blender, Bowmore, explains, “For the first time with this whisky, we have adopted the Gol- den 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 Ma- rek 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.” INLUXUS - 99

Inspirándose en un enfoque de ingeniería, este whisky in- corpora la proporción divina del 61,8 % formado a partir de una base de Bowmore de 21 años madurado en barri- cas de jerez de primer llenado de Pedro Ximénez y Oloroso. Las partes restantes se componen de proporciones exactas entre sí, de acuerdo con la teoría de la proporción áurea, e incluyen Bowmore excepcionalmente envejecido durante más de 35 años. Para este whisky, un poderoso y complejo pero a la vez dul- ce calidez, los creadores parecen, a primera vista, haber creado un contraste absoluto, pero en realidad han cap- turado el equilibrio y la proporción perfectos. Con un claro guiño a Aston Martin en la creación misma de este whisky Bowmore, exuda una sofisticación y complejidad verdade- ramente consideradas pero que prometen una experiencia de sabor emocionante. Potente pero elegante; de dulce a especiado; jerez al café; miel a pimienta: las proporciones perfectas para lograr una profundidad y un equilibrio absolutos.
