Producer profile
Bowmore is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay, standing on the shore of Loch Indaal. It is one of the few that still malts barley on its own floors — part of what it needs — dried over peat cut from the island's bogs and blended with mainland malt, which is why the spirit sits between the heaviest smoke of Islay's south coast and the lighter malts of its north.
