Bowmore, Islay's oldest licensed distillery, established in 1779, stands as a pillar of traditional Scottish whisky making on the shores of Loch Indaal. The distillery's legendary warehouses, including the famous No.1 Vaults, sit below sea level, where the maritime environment has influenced their whiskies for generations. The Bowmore Legend represents the essence of this historic Islay distillery, offering an accessible entry point into their distinctive house style. This expression encapsulates the distillery's core characteristics, crafted using the same time-honored techniques that have defined Bowmore for over two centuries, including the use of floor-malted barley and water from the Laggan River.
