Bowmore Distillery Visit | Meet the Bowmore Distillery

Bowmore was founded in 1779 by John P. Simpson. Like most of the other distilleries Bowmore was established as a farming distillery. He named the distillery 'Bowmore' which is Gaelic for Great Reef.

Bowmore is a typical Islay Whisky. It has a heavy peat smoke note and a lot of sea and salt aromas. The specialty about the Bowmore distillery character is the slight violet flower note. In some bottlings this note is hidden behind heavy Sherry or Wine aromas, but it is still there if you taste it carefully enough.

We were allowed to visit the Bowmore distillery and got exciting insights that we don't want to withhold from you.
