Bushmills is home to the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery. Official records stretch back to 1608, when the area was granted its license to distil. Over 400 years later, whiskey is still being made in Bushmills, thanks to experience and craft passed down from generation to generation.
Bushmills 10 year old single malt whiskey is triple distilled from 100% malted barley and matured for at least 10 years in sherry and bourbon seasoned barrels, which give it a honey, vanilla and milk chocolate flavours. This is a personal favourite of Master Blender Helen Mulholland and is best served neat or over ice.
Aged for about 15 years in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and bourbon-seasoned casks, and then finished for about 9 months in port wine pipes (large barrels unique to making port wine.) This single malt shows its layers of flavor, juicy fruits, nuts and spice, as well as a hint of ruby redness. It’s best enjoyed neat.
The pinnacle of Irish whiskey, Bushmills 21 year old single malt whiskey is aged in Oloroso sherry and bourbon-seasoned casks, then married and transferred into Madeira casks for a final 2 years of aging and maturation. It has huge depth that interweaves dried fruit flavours with a spicy, aromatic maltiness and subtle nutty raisin notes. This whiskey should always be served neat.
Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey combines a high amount of malt whiskey matured in former Oloroso Sherry casks, with a sweet, batch-distilled grain whiskey. It has rich, fruity notes and a deep intense character, balanced by an incredibly unique smoothness.
Bushmills Original Irish Whiskey is a blend of triple-distilled malt whiskey and a lighter grain distilled whiskey. It’s an easy-drinking, versatile whiskey that can be enjoyed neat, over ice or with your favourite mixer.
