Maintenance Periods 

Producing our complex and perfectly balanced Bowmore Single Malt is no easy task, and in common with most Scotch whisky distilleries, we cease production for certain periods in the year for essential maintenance and improvement works to our facilities. During these times, we adjust our experiences. Please reach out to us ahead of your visit to check if we are in production.
