Bowmore is Islay's oldest , and home to the world's oldest whisky maturation warehouse, the No. 1 Vaults. It's in this legendary warehouse that Bowmore whisky has been meticulously matured by our master for nearly 240 years. The first recorded mention of Bowmore dates from 1779, but speak kindly to a few of the older islanders and they'll maybe whisper a rumor or two that started here sometime before that. When it comes to whisky heritage, Bowmore\n is unrivaled. We continue to hand down the traditions, skills, and expertise that were crafted in the earliest days of Scotch whisky.
