Bowmore Distillery
Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay however it didn’t have much notable history until Suntory bought 35% in Morrison-Bowmore in 1989. After this point we saw huge changes in how Bowmore was marketed to the world. The launch of Black Bowmore in 1993, arguably, signalled the induction of whisky as a collectable asset. Suntory bought Morrison-Bowmore outright in 1994. Following this was the launch of Bowmore 15 Darkest in 1999, and the eventual release of the oldest and most sought-after Bowmore stocks to the world. There was also the change in distillate style after Suntory became involved, with the pre1990 stock of Bowmore always being given the ‘lavender’ moniker.
Murray McDavid
Murray McDavid was established in 1994 and quickly gained a reputation for interesting maturation methods and subsequent bottling. The company also played an integral role in the reopening of Bruichladdich in 2000. The bottlers are currently based in Coleburn distillery, Speyside.
