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.
Bowmore on asutatud kaks sajandit tagasi 1779. aastal ning on üks vanimaid piiritustehaseid Šotimaal. Kuigi tehas on omanikke vahetanud mitmeid kordi, kasutatakse seal siiamaani traditsioonilisi viski valmistamise meetodeid - otra kuivatatakse põrandal ja keeratakse puidust labidaga. Tootmises kasutatav vesi pärineb lähedal asuvast Lagga jõest, mis tuleb soisest alast ning see omakorda lisab viskile erilise turbase maitse. Tehase hoiuruumid asuvad merepinnast madalamal ning tänu sellele lisavad viskile ka soolasemaid maitseid.
