NC2 stands for "non-coloured" and "non-chill-filtered" and as such bottlers Duncan Taylor proudly proclaim this range as "completely natural". Each cask in the NC2 range is matured at it's original distillery and hand-picked for bottling by Duncan Taylor.
Bowmore is the "capital" of the Isle of Islay, located on the shore of Loch Indaal, and it's distillery, established in 1779, is reputed to be one of the oldest in Scotland and the first (legal) one on the island. As with other Islay malts Bowmore displays the character of the famous whisky-producing island through it's peatiness and aroma of sea-spray.
