Bushmills Exclusive Malts Single Cask #20021 Whiskey 13 Year Old · 2002 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, sunlit gloss.

Nose

Opulent nose of orchard fruits, vanilla and honey with rich caramel and toasted oak. Fresh pear and baked apple mingle with citrus zest, while gentle spices—cinnamon and white pepper—lend lift. A silky malt sweetness threads through notes of almond and toffee, finishing with polished, refined depth.

Palate

Full-bodied and cask-strength, this Bushmills opens with bright orchard fruit—pear and apple—swathed in creamy vanilla and honeyed toffee. Spices unfurl: ginger, white pepper, a hint of oak, giving a warming, long finish with refined depth.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish coats the palate in polished oak, vanilla and honeyed fruit, ripening into dried apricot. Spices awaken—cinnamon and nutmeg—before a subtle cocoa and oak char lingers, leaving a creamy, resinous warmth that invites another sip.
