Read More: The Brand Story
Established in 1779, Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay and one of the oldest in Scotland. Located on the shores of Loch Indaal, it is separated from the sea by only a wall, a location that deeply influences its whisky style. Bowmore's greatest pride is the legendary 'No. 1 Vaults', one of the few maturation warehouses in the world located below sea level, where waves crash against the walls and sea mist permeates the air, imparting a unique brine and maritime essence.
The distillery still maintains many traditional crafts, including the costly floor maltings. This allows precise control over germination and ensures just the right level of smokiness during peat kilning. This attention to detail allows Bowmore to stand out as the 'balanced' Islay malt—possessing both wild maritime smoke and delicate fruit and floral notes.
The 12-year-old expression is the cornerstone of the core range. It represents time well spent in wood, gaining vanilla and fruit from bourbon casks while sherry casks contribute color and depth. At Alcohol Please, we are committed to providing Hong Kong's whisky lovers with this classic masterpiece, delivering the breath of the Islay sea and the warmth of traditional craftsmanship in every sip.
