Bowmore launched a limited-edition gift pack for its 14-Year-Old single malt Scotch whisky, timed for the Diwali festive season. The packaging draws inspiration from Kalamkari, a traditional Indian art form, and combines the whisky's Islay heritage with Indian artistry. This special edition is available in select global travel retail locations.
