On the shore of Loch Indaal, in Islay's whitewashed little capital, Bowmore has turned barley into spirit since 1779, the island's oldest recorded distillery. Descend into its No.1 Vaults, a legendary warehouse dug below the tideline, and you can hear the sea working against the walls where the casks sleep. The whisky is a study in balance: a gentle coil of Islay smoke laid over a deep, exotic sweetness that in older bottlings blooms into mango and passion fruit. Owned by Beam Suntory.
