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.

Arguably the most underrated distillery in Scotland.

One of your best presentations , a really nice guy David is had the pleasure of his company at a Malt Whisky Distillers dinner a few years back
Lovely distillery and great drams, White Sands being my favourite

[@cunnyrunts]

Great tour! They have the most awesome mash room so far with those giant copper water heaters. Glad you got to enjoy some pours straight from the cask.

[@TheMadtownMaltster]

I love your distillery tours! Keep them coming! I have only had the Bowmore 12 yr., which was a big disappointment to me due to it’s presentation with coloring added and only 40% ABV.

Another top quality distillery video! Bunnahabhain and/or Bruichladdich next?

[@Whiskycom]

Hm, maybe 😉

[@josepmcomajoncoses5118]

Superb video, brings me lovely memories of my visit to the distillery last year. Charming place and staff, and superbly elegant and balanced whisky

[@MatijaGrcic]

Absolutely love Bowmore.

Glad you liked it :)

That "looks" like a lot of black mold on the walls of the malting building.

[@Herbyonwheelsshubhayu14]

Nice location

[@ursoouindio]

Did mr Turner just implied that these bottles don't have caramel colorant? 🤔
