Bowmore 
distillery
is one of the 
oldest in Scotland built
in 1779. It has a central 
location in the town of Bowmore, 
the Islay capital at the shore of 
Loch Indaal. Rare at Bowmore is the 
three malting floors that are still 
in use as well as the fact that
many of their vessels are made 
from copper. The hot water 
from the distilliation 
process is used to
heat the swimmingpool
that lies just 
at the main 
entrance.
