Bowmore 1961 has been released over a period four years, with the final 50 bottles now available, each priced at $23,000.The casks were matured for a time in Bowmore's famed No. 1 Vaults. Bottled at 40.7% ABV, each bottle is enclosed in a handmade wooden cabinet, with silver neck collars and cork tops, and handblown glass.
