In May 2025, Suntory Global Spirits announced the arrival of the Bowmore Appellations collection at select Indian airports, including Delhi Duty Free and Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Launched internationally in November 2024, this exclusive series features four premium single malts that combine Bowmore’s Islay heritage with influences from renowned European wine regions.
The range includes a 14-year-old matured in Bordeaux barriques, a 16-year-old finished in Douro port casks, a 19-year-old finished in Burgundy Pinot Noir casks, and a 22-year-old finished in Sauternes casks. Initially launched at London Heathrow and Singapore Changi, the collection is now available at key travel retail locations in India, with a dedicated Bowmore space in Mumbai created in collaboration with Ospree Duty Free.
Suntory Global Spirits Managing Director Global Travel Retail Ashish Gandham commented, “Travel retail is a key showroom for our iconic global brands, and I am very proud that we are able to offer our retail partners such an exceptional new channel-exclusive collection. Bowmore Appellations is a very special series, a showcase for the multi-dimensional Bowmore spirit, and the different terroirs celebrated through these expressions.”
He added, “We know that our travelling consumers expect high-quality product innovation and authenticity, enhanced with deeper, richer experiences. This collection embodies our commitment to deliver a best-in-class premium brand portfolio, to truly elevate the airport shopping experience, and to help us achieve our ambition to become the world’s most admired premium spirits company.”
Celebrating nearly 250 years of history, Bowmore continues to focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and visual reinvention. With a renewed emphasis on heritage, the brand aims to enrich the airport shopping experience for travellers with a product that reflects its rich legacy.
