Bowmore Distillery was founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore on the Isle of Islay, Scotland, by John P. Simpson. Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and is known for its peaty, smoky whiskies. The whiskey-making process at Bowmore includes using copper pot stills, malted barley, and a combination of bourbon and sherry casks for maturation.
