Established over 245 years ago in 1779, Bowmore is Islay’s oldest licensed distillery, and Scotland’s second oldest. This legacy affords the distillery an enviable inventory of maturing stock, iconic releases, and warrants its position as one of the most collectable whiskies in the world. Bowmore’s premium single malts are crafted with intent and age like no other, to offer exceptional depth and layers of flavour. Its signature style is defined by rich and fruity notes and a delicate peated complexity. Each stage of Bowmore’s whisky-making process is precise and measured. From its floor maltings and peat smoke to dry the barley, ensuring the smoky and fruity complexity, to the long fermentation and slow distillation, enhancing the signature citrus fruit taste. Bowmore’s expressions continue to be globally recognised. Recent accolades include ‘World’s Best Single Malt’ and gold at World Whiskies Awards 2026 for Bowmore 21-Year-Old Sherry Oak Cask, amongst many others.
