We've seen the Black Bowmore, now Scotch distiller Bowmore has launched the second of three limited edition whiskies, the White Bowmore. There are 732 bottles of the White Bowmore, which is a 43-year-old single malt. The whisky has been maturing in six bourbon casks since 1964. It will sell for $4,400 a bottle with just 40 bottles released to the U.S.

John Hansell of the Malt Advocate tried it back in July and rated it a 94 saying that it has notes of "bright fruit: peach, tangerine, mango, ripe melon, and pineapple" as well as softer sweet notes and a balance of smoke and oak.
