  • nl

You're standing at Bowmore distillery, in the village of the same name on the Scottish island of Islay. Take a look at the water behind the buildings. That's Loch Indaal, a sea loch the distillery has sat beside for centuries. Bowmore is the oldest working distillery on Islay, and one of the oldest in all of Scotland.
