About Bowmore
- Bowmore Distillery, founded in 1779, is one of the oldest licensed whisky distilleries in Scotland and produces one of the most celebrated of the Islay malts, known for its distinctive balance of peat smoke and sweetness. Islay is often called the Queen of the Hebrides and is home to nine working distilleries, making it the most whisky-dense island in the world relative to its size. The round church that dominates the top of Bowmore's main street was built in 1767 on a circular plan, according to local tradition, so that the devil would have no corners in which to lurk. During the Second World War, Bowmore was used as a base for Sunderland flying boats of RAF Coastal Command patrolling the North Atlantic.
