History
The distillery was established in 1779 by local postmaster and ferry operator David Simson, who had previously distilled 3 miles away at Killarow, near Bridgend. Bowmore has changed hands multiple times throughout its history and is currently under the control of Beam Suntory. In 1993, the first expression from the Black Bowmore trilogy was released; a highly covetable series and popular amongst collectors. In 2012, the 1957 expression was released, becoming the oldest Islay single malt ever released.
