Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70cl

Product Information

S. In 2008 Bushmills celebrated their 400^th birthday and the bank of Ireland put them on their bank notes. Whilst some pedants might note that the company itself didn’t come into existence until 1784, 1608 being the date King James VI/I gave a licence to distil to the contemporary landowner, you’re still looking at a very long pedigree. So too, with the palate, as the vanilla comes in on a smooth, clean malt arrival, the fruity apple blends with juicier mango and apricot and finishes with a little touch of sherry. Close to the Giant's Causeway the water supply for the Bushmills distillery runs through the basalt rock and then through peat.

This one from Bushmills eschew the stronger bottlings of many of the independent outfits, so this is a ‘mere’ 40% abv.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.

Their aged releases include 10, 16 and 21 year old expressions, while those looking to try interesting finishes might be tempted by the Bushmills Caribbean Rum .

Bushmills are one of the most famous brands in Irish whiskey, if not spirits in general, and lay claim to being not only the oldest distillery in Ireland, but the oldest whiskey distillery in the world.
