About Bowmore Distillery

Category: Distilleries & Distilled Products

Founded over two centuries ago in 1779, Bowmore is the first recorded distillery on Islay (pronounced 18eye-la 19) and one of the oldest in the whole of Scotland. Islay malts are renowned for their peaty smokiness and Bowmore is no exception. We carefully smoke our malt in a peat-fired kiln, just as our ancestors did over 200 years ago. Bowmore is the First Islay Single Malt, we've been making Bowmore here since 1779.
