White Bowmore Follows Black

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.
