Bowmore distillery has always been known for making a less smoky Whisky than some other Islay distilleries.
The Distillery has its own malting floor, where 30% of the needed malt is produced.
The famose Vault No 1., dating back to the 1700s, is probably the oldest whisky warehouse in Scotland that is still in use.

I appreciate the tasting bar upstairs to enjoy a relaxed tasting overlooking Loch Indaal (open until 4pm).
