Located on the shores of Loch Indaal, this is the oldest distillery operating on Islay Island and one of the oldest malt whiskey distilleries in Scotland. The Bowmore distillery continues to produce part of its barley, malt and its own traditional malt. Although they no longer meet all of the distillery’s requirements, they still contribute a third of the amount of malt consumed per serving.
