"Deep golden color. Rich salty roasted nut and grain aromas with layers of dark caramel and cocoa. A very round and supple entry leads to a dryish medium-full body of cocoa-dusted dried peach and nut flavors. Finishes with a long, nutty toffee and spice fade. Nice vibrancy and depth of flavor in a rich after dinner style. 93 points" Beverage Testing Institute

Distilled three times from 100% malted barley, it is matured for a minimum of 10 years mainly in selected American oak casks - a gentle maturation which lends soft vanilla notes to the whiskey. It's beautifully rounded with a distinct honeyed sweetness (Colum, our Master Distiller, says he tastes milk chocolate) and a rich warming character. It's as smooth as it gets.

Bushmills Malt Whiskey is matured for 16 years in a combination of American oak casks (typically lending vanilla notes to the whiskey) and Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks (contributing rich fruit and nuts). It is then finished in old port casks for several months. These bring sweet berry notes and a hint of ruby redness to the final whiskey.
