The No. 1 Vaults Tour is the best distillery tour we've ever had! Friendly and professional tour guide, great tastings. Definately well worth the money!

Update: I am happy to correct my rating, as Bowmore has been very accommodating and has even refunded the amount. This is certainly not self-evident and I thank you very much for the concession ============= Today I visited Bowmore at short notice and was initially pleased that I was able to attend the No. 1 Vaults Warehouse Tasting at equally short notice. The welcome at the reception was friendly and informative. After the actual tasting, however, I regretted having spent the 60. My disappointment was not based on the quality of the whiskies on offer; that Bowmore produces quite excellent whiskies is entirely indisputable, but my expectations of the warehouse tasting were not met. On the one hand, this was due to the guide, who did not seem very motivated. Of course, she accurately passed on the given information to the participants, but unfortunately not much more. I missed the passion that I had experienced on tours of other distilleries. What I missed even more was one or three small sips of water. Having visitors taste three whiskies at cask strength at a warehouse tasting, with the aim of choosing one of them for their own bottling, is something that unfortunately doesn't work well without water, nor is it enjoyable. Every other distillery on the island is able to offer water to the guests. After Warehouse, the group would be led to the bar with no further information on what would happen next. As no seats had been reserved in the bar for the tasting group, they had to sit at different tables. With a little more organisation and effort, this could have been a nice ending. The box in which you take the whisky with you is at least quite pretty and extensively equipped. Nevertheless, I left the bar with a "No more Bowmore" in mind.
