Bowmore 18 year old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, having stood on the shores of Loch Indaal in Islay since 1779.

In 1963, the distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison. Although substantially rebuilt, he retained the original floor maltings and traditional whisky production methods, still in use to this day.

Bowmore Distillery is one of an ever-decreasing handful of distilleries to produce its own floor-malted barley, whereby the barley is laboriously hand turned using the traditional wooden shovel. After having been part owned by Suntory Ltd of Japan for some years, Morrison Bowmore was purchased outright by Suntory, famous for Suntory whisky in 1994.
