Surely there are few locations more evocative than the shores of Lochindaal, an area positively steeped in rich Scottish folklore. It's no wonder then that Bowmore has a whiff of magic about it (or perhaps that's just the whisky). The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore still retains its own floor maltings; and while they can no longer meet all of the busy distillery's requirements, they still contribute a third of the malt used in every mash.
Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's old-fashioned, and Bowmore's eco-friendly heat recovery system not only cuts down on those pesky bills, it also heats the town swimming pool!
Feis Ile 2020
Orginially primed and ready to be released during the 2020 Feis Ile, the release of this expression was delayed until 2021 courtesy of a certain global pandemic you may have heard about. Even though the 2021 didn't take place either, Bowmore decided to make the previous years bottlings available to buy online.
