Bushmills 21 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey 750ml

Product Description

Found on County Antrim's coastline, the village of Bushmills is home to Ireland's oldest 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 the experience and craft we've passed from generation to generation. We couldn't make our whiskey anywhere but here. Our water, drawn from the river Bush, flows over beds of basalt rock, the same rock that lends its unique character to another local attraction -- the Giant's Causeway. The casks selected for aging our whiskeys are also essential, so we keep close ties with cask-makers in Spain, Portugal and America. Once shipped to the Bushmills distillery the casks are filled and left to mature, working their magic to give our whiskey its enjoyably rich, mellow yet distinct flavor. BUSHMILLS 21 year old single malt id thr pride of our distilling heritage. It is matured for at least 19 years in oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, followed by a final two years of maturation in Madeira casks. This unique combination of woods gives our 21 year old an enjoyable depth of flavour. Dried fruit flavours are interweaved with spicy malt and toasted raisin notes. It is full and sweet on the nose, with soft spice and orange peel. It has a smooth texture on the palate with an intense finsih of liquorice and oak.
