The Bowmore distillery situated in the Bowmore village remains a great classic in distillery visits.
The distillery is the only on Islay to belong to a Japanese group, which helps it in its export to Asia.
If the distillery is mythic, its visit remains classic. It is one of the only Islay distilleries which still produces part of its malt. Due to contracts with Diageo, no distillery on the island is allowed to produce 100% of its malt. This was one of the conditions for the creation of the "Port Ellen Maltings" in Port Ellen.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse of alcohol beverages can damage the health. Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child. Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
