Bowmore’s Chinese Mythical Guardians Set comprises five bottles of Scotch whisky from the Islay distillery owned by Beam Suntory. Each bottle features Chinese symbols.
The 38-year-old Black Warrior is limited to 888 bottles, as the number eight is considered lucky in Chinese culture. Following the success of previous editions – Dragon and Vermilion Bird of the South, the third and fourth edition in the series continues to celebrate influential figures in Asian culture, such as the Black Warrior, or Tiger of the West.
