Bowmore Distillery on the inner Hebridean Island of Islay was first legalised in 1779 and is one of the oldest Distilleries in Scotland. Situated on the shores of Loch Indaal, it was acquired by the Company in 1963 and is one of only five Malt Whisky Distilleries in the whole of Scotland, which still has traditional floor maltings.

Auchentoshan is a rare delight, besides being one of the few Lowland Single Malt Distilleries still in production, it is unique in that the whisky is Triple distilled rather that the usual double distillation. The Distillery was purchased by the Company in 1984 and has been completely refurbished over recent years. In 1994 Auchentoshan Distillery became the first Malt Distillery to be awarded the BS5750 Quality Certification.

Glen Garioch Distillery, purchased by the Company in 1970, was originally established in 1797 in the village of Old Meldrum, near Aberdeen and is the Company’s Highland Malt. Re-packaged in 1995, the brand is travelling the world to find new markets and to strengthen distribution.

In 1995 the International Wine and Spirit Competition awarded Morrison Bowmore Distillers as `Distiller of the Year' the first name on the Trophy, for their Consistency and excellence in distilling, packaging and branding for their Bowmore and Auchentoshan Brands.

In 1996, 1997 and 1999 Morrison Bowmore Distillers Limited received The Queens Award For Export Achievement in recognition of its export sales.

Morrison Bowmore Distillers Limited is now a major producer of Whisky in every sense of the word and the company is constantly adapting to customers needs with award winning packaging, new product development and evaluation, promotional and franchise ideas tailored to individual markets.

Although the traditions of distilling are as important today as they ever were at Morrison Bowmore Distillers Limited, this is a company with a vision and our influence and ambition are still growing. The company has the incentive and the ability to be innovative, to move quickly, and yet to continue to provide the highest level of personal service within the Scotch Whisky Industry.
