Bushmills Single Malt Irish Whiskey (Old Bottling) 16 Year Old
In stock
Embodying all the traditions of distilling at the Old Bushmills Distillery since 1608, this Bushmills 16 year-old "Three wood" Single Malt is the result of many generations of distilling expertise.
Every drop of Bushmills Malt is carefully distilled three times for exceptional purity and smoothness, using the pure water from St Columb's Rill, which flows over ancient basalt rock to the Old Bushmills Distillery. The unpeated malt barley allows the pure taste of Malt to shine through.
This distinctive Single Malt from Ireland is matured in three types of oak wood casks. Firstly, it is aged in American bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks for a minimum of 16 years and upwards. It is then "finished" for many months in old Port wine Pipes, conferring a hint of ruby redness and a long sweet finish. This result is a complex and intriguing whiskey with much to delight the discerning palate. A true masterpiece.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with a warm golden glow and a subtle ruby-red shimmer from its port finish.
Nose
Opulent and inviting, the nose unfolds with dried fig and raisin, interlaced with toffee, vanilla bean and a touch of caramel from the American bourbon cask. Rich Oloroso sherry introduces dark fruit, nutty notes and subtle chocolate, while Port pipe finishing adds a ruby sweetness and a whisper of spice, all resting on warm oak and a faint cocoa dust.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied and generous, it coats the palate with honeyed malt, vanilla and toasted oak. Sherry-driven notes of dried fruit, raisin and cocoa mingle with a subtle port sweetness, delivering a velvety mouthfeel and a long, lightly spiced finish.
Finish
Long, luxurious and gently sweet, with a port-finished richness that lingers. Notes of dried cherry, fig and caramel weave with sherry and oak, delivering a plush, velvety fade. Subtle spice and a touch of ruby-red fruit persist on a refined, warm finish.
