Four Hundred Years of License, Thirty Years in Wood
Bushmills has been chasing perfection in Irish single malt since 1608, and this bottle is the proof of the chase: spirit patiently matured in bourbon and sherry wood for fourteen years, then transferred to casks seasoned with the sweetest, most intensely fruity sherry of all — Pedro Ximénez from Jerez — for sixteen more. The result pours auburn gold and smells like a winter pantry: raisins, figs, and prunes entwined with baking spice, unfolding into dates, figs, and praline on a velvety palate that lingers seemingly without end. Explore the Bushmills collection and Del Mesa's Irish whiskey shelf.
Tasting Notes
Rich, inviting aromas of dried fruit entwined with toffee. A velvety mouthfeel brings dates and figs followed by praline, citrus, and vanilla. The finish lingers seemingly without end, with notes of dried fruit and toffee.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass to capture the dried-fruit aromatics; a few drops of water open hidden layers of spice. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, fine cigars, or blue cheese.
