Bowmore is Islay's oldest licensed distillery, founded in 1779 on the shore of Loch Indaal, where its legendary No. 1 Vaults sit below sea level. Bowmore still floor-malts part of its barley and dries it over Islay peat, producing a medium-peated house style that balances smoke, sea air and sweetness rather than overwhelming with phenols. Shop Bowmore 12 Year, the sherry-finished 15 Year and the mature 18 Year at Chips Liquor with fast shipping.
