A trip to Islay without a visit to the Bowmore Distillery would be like looking at one of our bottles without sampling the contents. It's the oldest on the island, and the setting is simply stunning. Our Visitor Centre is open throughout the year too (and naturally enough, there’s some tasting to be had as well).

Of course, nobody knows more about our whiskies than those who make them, so our bespoke Craftsmen’s Tours are revealing as well as enjoyable.

But you don’t have to take our word for it - as The Malt Advocate put it:

"There is no better tour - comprehensive, visually arresting, and well-planned, delivered with wit and nuggets of local knowledge - one gets the feeling that the tour has been specifically tailored just for you. A final treat is nosing the ‘angels share’ in the traditional warehouse - little wonder that the Queen has had a cask here since 1980."
