Bowmore, established in 1779, is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, with a rich history spanning two centuries. Despite changing ownership several times, the distillery continues to use traditional whisky-making methods—malt is dried on the floor and turned with wooden shovels. The water used in production comes from the nearby Laggan River, which flows through a boggy area, imparting a distinctive peaty flavor to the whisky. Additionally, the distillery's warehouses are located below sea level, which contributes to the whisky's saltier notes.
