Did the signature tour with Margaret (Mrs Bowmore). Listed as an hour and a quarter but we were nearly two hours, so great value. Really engaging guide, great with all the weird questions asked, followed by a fantastic tasting experience. Highly recommended.

The grounds are relatively compact, but you can see and learn a lot on their tour. They are one of three distilleries on Islay that malt barley. You have a chance to rake the barley. The tour guides are engaging and knowledgeable. The tour was the only one of the four distillery tours we took on Islay along the water that didn’t include a photo opportunity of a white building with the distillery name in bold black letters. There are some interesting artifacts to see in the exhibit area.

I had a marvelous experience on the Bowmore distillery tour: As it happened there were no other guests so I got a bespoke walkthrough care of my guide Evy. She was on top of each aspect of the plant, got me into countless tight spaces to see new angles of their operation, and best of all she decanted some of the most devastating spirits I've ever tasted in the cask warehouse. This tour is one for the books, do not miss it.

Arrived on Islay for our first visit and having had the foresight to prebook a distillery visit we did the No 1 Vaults Experience at Bowmore. The experience was led by Rob who was very knowledgeable, informative and friendly. The highlight of the experience was tasting 3 very different whiskys direct from the cask in the No 1 Vault. Rob expertly guided us through the tasting, answering all the question put to him by those on the experience. All in all we would highly recommend the experience itself which was made even better by having Robs expertise - having visited numerous distilleries on Islay this firmly remains our no 1 favourite!

The distillery tour we took with Lynn was great. She gave us a very comprehensive tour of the distillery a passionate background into the distillery itself. The tasting room looking out over the water is a beautiful setting to enjoy some great whisky paired with chocolate.

Beautiful distillery with a very informative and enjoyable tour. The tour guide was interesting and the distillery is gorgeous. She showed us all aspects of the whisky making process from the barley room to the smoking room. The tastings were varied and very good and the final tasting was in their restaurant area where they even served us chocolates! Nice touch! This was one of my favorite distillery tours and I went to many!
