| | Single Malt Whisky - Alfred Barnard - Bowmore |
 | | The Bowmore Distillery covers nearly four acres of ground, and is built on a shelf of the sea coast; the buildings are somewhat scattered, but all enclosed, and entrance is gained thereto through a gateway, from the high road, on the slopes of the hill. |
 | | At the time of their occupation, Bowmore was the only Distillery which was feued, the others being held on a tenancy and it was not until several yeats afterwards that the other Distilleries in Islay became feus. |
 | | Bowmore Distillery is supplied with an unlimited quantity of splendid water from the Laggan, the best and largest river in the Island, and is favourably situated for the disposal and sale of the draff and pot ale, both most useful for cattle feeding, and a perfect boon in winter when fodder is scarce. |
