Raise a dram
with Bowmore, Islay’s first single malt
whisky, to celebrate the arrival of "the
Bowmore room" at the Caledonian Club.
Sharing the same underlying values of
quality, tradition and the desire to
celebrate Scottish culture, Bowmore and
the Caledonian Club make perfect
partners.
The Caledonian Club was founded in 1891
and is a private members’ Club situated
in the heart of Belgravia, London. The
club occupies five floors and members
enjoy a busy calendar of events
including classical music evenings and
club traditions such as the St Andrew’s
Day Dinner.
In "The Bowmore Room", guests can look
forward to being taken on a sensory
journey of discovery to Bowmore’s
charming island home of Islay. From
whisky pairing events to magical ‘A
Taste of Islay’ evenings; from Burns
Suppers to the innovative Caledonia
Lectures; “The Bowmore Room” will play
host to a range of exciting and unique
events for members and guests alike.
Cara Laing, Bowmore Marketing Manager,
said "We are very excited to bring a
little taste of our special island of
Islay to the Caledonian Club in London.
Islay is a tough place to get to so we
hope The Bowmore Room will truly bring
to life the essence of Islay as well as
our award winning Single Malt".
David Coughtrie, Chairman of the
Caledonian Club, commented "The new
association between Morrison Bowmore
Distillers and The Caledonian Club is a
very welcome addition to the range of
malts our home and overseas members
enjoy. The depth and variety of
expressions from this respected
distiller will be available in the Bar
and in the Dining Room where we will
serve the Bowmore 15 years old Darkest
as a perfect accompaniment to our
haggis".
Founded over two centuries ago in 1779,
Bowmore is the first recorded distillery
on the island of Islay and one of the
oldest in the whole of Scotland. Using
time-honoured traditions little has
changed in the way the exceptional
Single Malts are produced; the malt is
still carefully smoked in a peat-fired
kiln just as it was over 200 years ago
and the water is still drawn from the
Laggan River. Bowmore whiskies then
spend their long live resting in the
legendary No. 1 Vaults, the oldest
maturation warehouse in Scotland.
Located just off the West Coast of
Scotland, Islay is famed for its peat,
which is still used as fuel by many of
the islanders, and together with salt
from the Atlantic Ocean adds to the
strong character and peaty smokiness of
Islay malt whisky. Bowmore is no
exception, however with its unique
location on the shores of Loch Indaal,
Bowmore Single Malt is widely
acknowledged to be among the finest and
most perfectly-balanced in the world.
And so we ask you to come on in to "The
Bowmore Room", experience the magical
island of Islay and take in a dram of
Bowmore, in the heart of London's only
Scottish private members club.
