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.
