On December 9, Lotte Duty Free announced that it will exclusively launch the ultra-premium Scotch whisky "Bowmore ARC-54" in Korea.


Bowmore is a historic brand that has operated a whisky distillery on Scotland's Islay Island since 1776 and is renowned as a leading producer of distinctive peated whisky. Only 130 bottles of the ARC-54 have been produced worldwide, making it exceptionally rare. The price is $79,000 (approximately 120 million KRW). One bottle will be available at Lotte Duty Free's Gimpo Airport store and another at the Lotte Internet Duty Free store.

In Korea, bottles number 18 and 99 of ARC-54 will be available. Additionally, one bottle each is being sold at Lotte Duty Free's Singapore Changi Airport store and Melbourne Airport store in Australia.


The ARC-54 was created in collaboration with the British sports car brand Aston Martin. Inspired by Aston Martin's hypercar Valkyrie, the bottle features a unique design that creates a reflective effect, making it appear as if the whisky inside is flowing.


Starting today, Lotte Internet Duty Free is holding a special Bowmore whisky exhibition. The exhibition will feature the "Appellation" collection, which combines the appeal of whisky and wine. "Bowmore 14 Years Old Bordeaux Wine Cask Finish" is a special release that blends the sweetness of berries and Bowmore’s signature smoky aroma by finishing whisky matured in bourbon casks with the flavors of premium Bordeaux wine. Other special editions, including "Bowmore 16 Years Old Ruby Port Cask Finish" and "Bowmore 19 Years Old Pinot Noir Cask Finish," will also be available.



Lee Jeongmin, Head of Merchandise at Lotte Duty Free, stated, "We are honored to be able to exclusively offer such a rare product, with only 130 bottles available worldwide, at Lotte Duty Free in Korea. We will continue to introduce unique products exclusive to Lotte Duty Free through ongoing collaborations with our partners."
