Hypebeast 走進 Bowmore ARC-54 發佈會現場
為慶祝 Bowmore ARC-54 的里程碑式發佈,Bowmore 單一麥芽蘇格蘭威士忌宣布作家、詩人及文化紀錄者 Sophia Thakur 成為全新創意合作夥伴。Sophia 受 Bowmore 捕捉靜謐瞬間特質的啟發,創作出一首邀請全球人們暫停喧囂、專注當下的讚歌,並於倫敦發佈會上首演。此次合作亦是 Bowmore 首度開放 245 年歷史與傳承,由新世代聲音重新詮釋。Sophia 親訪艾雷島後,以細膩創意凝聚時間的意象,展現品牌對「有意識創作」與「重新想像」的承諾。正如威士忌釀造的節奏與口語詩歌的流動之美,Bowmore ARC-54 在每一滴中淬鍊無限優雅與層次,並與 Aston Martin 攜手,為品牌開啟嶄新篇章。
走進 Raffles London at The OWO(舊戰爭辦公室大樓),這座曾作為英國首相 Winston Churchill 在一次世界大戰期間的臨時指揮所,不僅歷史意義深遠,其壯麗的巴洛克建築風格亦令人驚艷。在此舉辦擁有百年歷史的威士忌品牌 Bowmore 發表會,格外別具意義。 此外,這座歷史建築也曾啟發 Ian Fleming 創作《詹姆斯・龐德 007》系列小說。酒店地下一層更設有一間名為「007」的私密酒吧(Speakeasy Bar),為 Bowmore ARC-54 x Aston Martin 的系列發表會增添了更深層的沉浸式體驗。
Bowmore 首席調酒師 Calum Fraser
Calum Fraser 是蘇格蘭威士忌業界的卓越人物,並於今年(2025)獲得威士忌界的最高榮譽之一「Keepers of the Quaich」。現任三得利全球烈酒公司(Suntory Global Spirits)蘇格蘭與愛爾蘭威士忌的首席調酒師。他從科學背景出發,憑藉對威士忌的熱情與專業,不斷追求卓越,最終成為業界的調酒大師,展現出對品質與工藝的堅持與執著。
如何詮釋全新的 Bowmore 世界觀?
過去三年,我們持續檢視並優化 Bowmore 的品牌定位與溝通方式,希望更精準傳遞品牌的核心精神,同時向傳統致敬、也展現當代活力。因此,我們在品牌創意、體驗和創新上全面進化,並將透過推出的兩大新系列── Sherry Oak Cask 雪莉桶系列和 Appellations 法定產區系列,搭配全新包裝,帶給消費者耳目一新的 Bowmore 世界。
同時,藉由策略性合作、沉浸式體驗以及對真實與卓越的堅持,我們期望重新定義 Bowmore 品牌價值,讓每一次品酩,皆成為令人難忘的非凡體驗。
新包裝設計背後的理念是什麼?
這次的設計重點,是希望更清楚地講述瓶中威士忌的故事,讓大家一眼就能感受到 Bowmore 的精神與個性。靈感來自 Bowmore 層次豐富「Layers of More」、極具表現力的風味特色,我們用流動線條的設計來呈現這份複雜與細膩。而黑色則延續了品牌多年的經典色,同時也向我們最具代表性的酒款──1964 年蒸餾的 Black Bowmore──致敬,它至今已走過 60 年,是我們非常驕傲的傳奇。
為什麼推出新威士忌系列?(Sherry Oak Cask & Appellations Collection)
作為品牌進化的一部分,我們看到了展示 Bowmore 全面風味特質的機會。現在正是時候,將這些不同風味的選擇以全新的頂級產品系列呈現給全球市場。這兩個新系列不僅支持我們的品牌目標,也為現有和新來的 Bowmore 愛好者提供了更多元的選擇和全新的體驗。
關於 Sherry Oak Cask 雪莉桶系列的概念/理念是什麼?
這個來自 Bowmore 酒廠的全新威士忌系列,展示了最頂級的歐洲(西班牙)橡木雪莉桶在塑造威士忌深度與風味層次方面的關鍵作用,既能襯托又能提升 Bowmore 獨特的表現風格。並且包含 12 年、15 年、18 年和 21 年四款威士忌的系列。每一款威士忌都展現了不同的風味層次,並彰顯了 Bowmore 打造多重風味層次的獨特魅力。
Bowmore ARC-54 是什麼?
Bowmore ARC-54 是 ARC 系列中的第二款,也是與 Aston Martin 合作的終極酒款。它將酒廠最古老的威士忌之一,與一個精美的手工吹製酒瓶相結合,向「流動」的故事致敬。Bowmore ARC-54 完美詮釋了兩大品牌對工藝的共同追求——設計靈感來自 Aston Martin Valkyrie 車輛下方氣流的流動,以及艾雷島自然景觀與風土的流暢形態。
Bowmore ARC-54 的特徵是什麼?
Bowmore ARC-54 單一麥芽威士忌呈現出金色的漿果般光澤,給人一種強烈的流動感,無論在嗅覺還是味覺上都很明顯。香氣上,甜美的香草糖漿帶來濃厚的誘人香氣,加上熱帶水果中芒果和甜桃的氣息,搭配烤橡木、糖漬核桃和尤加利薄荷,形成了一種有趣的對比。味道方面,綠蘋果、佛手柑橙、青檸汁和鹽焦糖的味道激發了感官,隨後是些微的花香和溫暖香料,最後輕輕帶來一絲泥煤煙燻味。
建議售價與如何證明其價格合理?
建議零售價:£71,000。這個價格是根據幾個因素來決定,包括稀有性、市場需求、供需關係和生產成本。根據我們對這些極為稀有酒款的價值和吸引力的評估,我們認為這個價格對這款威士忌來說是合理且公正的。
吟遊詩人 Sophia Thakur
Sophia Thakur 是一位英國詩人、表演藝術家和作家,以其充滿感染力的口語詩歌和深刻的作品而廣受讚譽。她的處女作《Somebody Give This Heart a Pen》成為暢銷書,並因其對身份、心理健康及賦權等議題的強大敘事力而獲得廣泛認可。Thakur 曾在格拉斯頓伯里音樂節、TED 演講等重要舞台上表演,也在 BBC 和 Channel 4 等媒體亮相。她被《Forbes》列入 30 Under 30,並持續用真誠的聲音與對社會正義的熱情,啟發著全球觀眾。
Bowmore 的「Layers of More」概念如何體現在威士忌中?
親身走過艾雷島完整的釀造旅程,從大麥田、泥煤,到酒桶熟成室,這一切的體驗真的讓我對威士忌有了更深的理解。 我原本就知道這是一門講究細節的工藝,但親眼所見才真正明白,每一瓶酒背後都蘊含著驚人的耐心、精準與匠心。 Bowmore 的每一層風味,都是時間與用心的證明,也正因如此,它不只是一杯酒,更像是一件藝術品。
Bowmore 的層次製程是否與妳詩中的情感與敘事層次有某種共鳴?
大麥一開始很簡單,甚至平平無奇。但經過層層轉化,最後會變成一樣很有深度、很美的像一首詩。你一行一行地寫下來,即使一開始看不出什麼成果,也要相信這個過程。藝術和威士忌都是慢工細活的創作,它們需要時間、信任,以及經驗的堆疊。這一切都是關於韌性與豐富,就像人生一樣。
平時會喝威士忌來尋找靈感嗎?
我平常寫作時會保持清醒,不過在抵達艾雷島的第一晚,我實在太有靈感了,當晚回到住處就一口氣寫完了今天要朗誦的整首詩。所以有時候,也許啟發靈感的不是酒,而是那個地方本身。
在與 Bowmore 合作的過程中,最令妳印象深刻的是什麼?這如何改變妳對敘事與奢華的看法?
奢侈品牌的真正價值,其實在於它的故事。認識了 Bowmore 的 Margaret,她告訴我們她全家都在酒廠工作,讓我明白了「傳承、細節和工藝」如何解釋它的價值。這不單是價格的問題,更是過程和歷史的積累。當你了解它的故事,這一切的價值就自然能夠理解了。
Bowmore 深植於工藝與傳統之中。妳的藝術創作方式與之有何共鳴?
我的血統來自甘比亞、印度與斯里蘭卡,這些地方的文化中,傳遞故事是一種神聖的事。我也來自一個詩人與口述歷史傳承者的家族。文字一直是傳遞智慧與情感的媒介。而威士忌,特別是 Bowmore,也是一樣的:它是耐心、傳統與傳承的產物。往往,啟動這個過程的人,並不會看到最終的成果,但它就像故事一樣,代代相傳,只希望能在未來的某一天傳達出去。這種信任與時間的節奏,把詩與威士忌緊密連結在一起。
妳對 Bowmore 與 Aston Martin 的聯名合作,第一反應是什麼?
坦白說,一開始我心中也有疑問:「為什麼是詩人?」但當我們實際品嚐並深入了解整個製程,從大麥的選用、橡木桶的陳釀,到最後的裝瓶,我才真正理解這背後的用意。詩與威士忌一樣,都是一種講究節奏與層次的藝術形式,講求時間的淬鍊與細膩的感受。這不是可以匆忙完成的事,而是需要慢慢品味、靜心體會。正因如此,我終於明白他們為何選擇詩人來詮釋。這是關於傳承、關於耐心,更關於如何在每一刻中找出深度與價值!
Bowmore ARC-54
Bowmore ARC-54 是波摩與 Aston Martin 聯手打造的頂級威士忌,全球限量僅 130 瓶,酒齡高達 54 年,採用歐洲橡木雪莉桶與美國白橡木豬頭桶熟成,風味層次豐富,融合熱帶水果、香料與泥煤煙燻。瓶身設計靈感來自阿斯頓馬丁 Valkyrie 超跑,結合流線空氣力學與艾雷島自然地貌,展現藝術與工藝的極致追求。建議售價約為 £71,000,是極具收藏與投資價值的稀世之作。

Social Rundown: Cello dreams, fewer dispensaries in Denver, and Bryant mural vandalized again
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Welcome back to the Social Rundown, where you can learn about the online trends happening globally and in Texoma, too! Want to get the latest tea or news on what's trending on social media? Tune in daily! Neighboring help for Cello dreams Ten-year-old Sophia Pokladowski lost her right hand while an infant, but that did not stop her from wanting to learn how to play the cello. Something that perhaps seems impossible to some was not impossible for Sophia. With the help of her dad, teachers, and some engineering students, genius minds came together and 3D printed a prosthetic bow for her hand, allowing her to fulfill her dream of playing the cello. Fewer weed shops in Denver The city of Denver said it won't allow any more marijuana dispensaries to be built in some areas around town because it was found that there are too many. The decision comes as sales numbers continue to drop because other states have legalized recreational marijuana. Bryant mural vandalized The newly restored Kobe and Gigi Bryant mural in downtown Los Angeles has been vandalized once again, just months after its restoration in April. Many donated to restore the mural to its original state, thanks to artist Sloe Motion, although it remains to be seen if he will repaint it once again. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

James Bond Is Back In A Vintage Aston Martin DBS In New '007 First Light' Video Game
The first trailer for "007 First Light," the new James Bond game from IO Interactive, the studio behind the "Hitman" series came out yesterday. Set in a universe separate from the books and films, it's a bit of an origin story for the character, depicting a 26-year-old Bond going on a mission that will take him out of the Royal Navy and grant him his 00 status. We don't know the lead actor for the game yet, but in the trailer Bond kinda looks like Ethan Hunt. I think the game looks pretty awesome both in terms of graphics and gameplay, with a nice visual style and a mix of stealth, gadgetry and combat. But we're really here for the cars, and the three-minute trailer shows what Bond drives in one of the very first shots. Though "007 First Light's" developers say the game isn't based on any previous 007 media, Bond's car is one that has been used in the movies before: An original Aston Martin DBS. Read more: These Are The Dumbest Looking Cars Of All Time, According To You The first-gen DBS was first sold in 1967 as a successor to the DB6, first coming with an inline-6 before a V8 was added in 1969. It was sold until 1972, after which it was replaced by the V8 and Vantage models. George Lazenby's Bond drove a brown 1969 DBS in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," one of my favorites in the franchise. It's not exactly a fun automotive moment, though, as Bond's wife Tracy (played by the spectacular Diana Rigg) is shot and killed through the windshield. That movie's musical theme can be heard in "First Light's" trailer, too. You can also see a DBS being fitted with gadgets in Q's office in the 1971 film "Diamonds Are Forever," and of course its V8 Vantage successor was driven by Timothy Dalton in "The Living Daylights" and Daniel Craig in "No Time To Die." In the game's trailer we see Bond driving fast as hell and drifting the DBS along a mountain pass to chase a villian who's driving a red X150 Jaguar XK, an excellent baddie car choice. The banana yellow paint of Bond's DBS sure seems like a nod to the similarly colored DBS driven by Roger Moore in "The Persuaders," which ran from 1971 to 1972. I don't think this chase scene is just a cutscene, as parts of the trailer make it look like the player will get to do a lot of the driving (and drifting and crashing through fences). There also is a flash of another scene where Bond seems to be driving a garbage truck through a tunnel, and in another moment in Q's office there's a Triumph motorcycle with a flamethrower at the back and what looks like the new Aston Martin Valhalla under a cover. We can also see other real cars like the Land Rover Defender in the background of some scenes, so there's surely other real-life cars in the game as well. "007 First Light" will release in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Want more like this?

A new James Bond has been revealed for 007: First Light – and he's 26
Amid the endless chatter about who might eventually assume the role of James Bond in the movie franchise, there has finally been some news. An official new James Bond has been announced, and he's young at 26. He'll be appearing in a forthcoming Playstation game called 007: First Light that is being released in 2026 and he looks very different to any Bond that has come before. For a starter, he's Gen Z. Playstation has said: 'In 007 First Light, play as James Bond, a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless new recruit, and discover an origin story for the first time. 'This is Bond as you've never seen him before — the youngest Bond fans have ever met. In 007 First Light, at only 26 years old, he isn't the fully fledged 007 you know from the tux-and-martini days but a man with sharp instincts, sometimes reckless, who is still learning when to fight, when to bluff, and when to disappear into the shadows.' Read more: Play Video In the story, the new digital version of Bond is working as a Navy air crewman for MI6 training to be a fully operational spy. The story has been developed in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios. Amazon acquired the rights to James Bond earlier this year in a move that was viewed as historic. It isn't yet clear what exactly the purchase will mean for the franchise, although the studio has committed to honouring the legacy of 007 in any further movie releases. Players of 007: First Light will get to travel the world to exotic locations from 'snow-drenched mountains to sun-soaked beaches' and meet iconic characters from the films and books, including Q, M and Moneypenny. There will also be the addition of new characters, including James Bond's mentor Greenaway, who will teach Bond the art of combat. More details are to follow ahead of the game's launch on PlayStation 5 in 2026. Last year one of Sean Connery's most iconic Bond films, Goldfinger, celebrated its 60th anniversary, and City AM's Deputy Life&Style Editor took an Aston Martin for a spin through the Alps to celebrate. The last James Bond film to be released in cinemas was No Time To Die, Daniel Craig's swansong, in 2021. As for the new James Bond for the film franchise, despite numerous reports last year stating at Aaron Taylor Johnson was near to signing a contract, nothing has been revealed yet. Other names in the ring include Idris Elba, Henry Cavill and Josh O'Connor. Read more: Sign in to access your portfolio
