    Rest and Be Thankful was the inscription on a stone placed by soldiers at the top of Glen Croe in 1753: the climb through the valley is so long and steep that it was traditional for travellers to rest at this point and be thankful for having completed the climb.

    Non chill filtered and colouring free.

    Bowmore

    If we go by official dates, Bowmore is Islay’s oldest distillery in operation today, kicking off in 1779. Set in a spectacular location, along the coastline from the village of the same name. Bowmore had a mighty reputation founded on some classic whiskies from the 1960s. These have been released in a series of special editions and thankfully the current distillate is excellent. Somehow, Bowmore mixes the peat of Islay with a coastal vibe that is underpinned by a wonderful fruitiness. Shrouded in history, it also arguably has Scotland’s most famous and atmospheric warehouse in the Vault No.1. Stepping into this and walking through the maturing casks, while the ocean crashes against the outer wall, is well worth the price of admission.
