{"title":"Bowmore","description":"\u003cp\u003eBowmore is Islay's oldest distillery, established in 1779 on the shores of Loch Indaal, and one of the few remaining distilleries to malt its own barley on traditional floor maltings. Bowmore whiskies strike a perfect balance between Islay's signature peat smoke and a rich, complex sweetness — dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a distinctive floral note that sets Bowmore apart from its island neighbours. Elegant, layered, and deeply satisfying, Bowmore is Islay whisky at its most refined.
