Bowmore is a distillery that produces scotch whisky on the isle of
Islay, an island of the Inner Hebrides. The distillery, which lies on
the South Eastern shore of Loch Indaal, is one of the oldest in
Scotland, and is said to have been established in 1779. Bowmore
Distillery sources as much barley as possible from on the island of
Islay, however there are insufficient quantities produced to satisfy the
distillery's demand, and barley is also imported from the mainland. The
distillery retains a traditional floor malting but this also lacks
sufficient capacity and the barley imported from the mainland is
normally already malted. Classic Islay with gentle peaty aromas and
barley flavours intermingled with a little sherry wood and seaside air.
