Bowmore Distillery
'There is no better tour – comprehensive, visually arresting, and well-planned, delivered with wit and nuggets of local knowledge – one gets the feeling that the tour has been specifically tailored just for you. …all the joys of the three malting floors are there to see and savour.
The mash house is one of the prettiest, boasting two huge `coppers’ for heating the water and a mash tun with a graceful canopy, hand-riveted in 1947. …A final treat is nosing the `angels share’ in the traditional warehouse - little wonder that the Queen has had a cask here since 1980.”
Graham, The Malt Advocate 2004'
