Bushmills 10 Year Old, 700ml
Bushmills Distillery is located on the North Coast of Northern Ireland, in the village of Bushmills, which is known for its rugged coastline, fresh breezes, and pure water springs.
Established in 1784 by Hugh Anderson and holding a license to distill since 1608, it is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world.
Currently owned by Proximo Spirits, the distillery uses naturally soft water from Saint Columb's Rill for its smoothness and delicate flavor profile.
While modern processes have been introduced, Bushmills emphasizes preserving the unique character passed down through generations, with three distinctive copper pot stills contributing to the final complexity and flavor profile.
Bushmills 10 year old is triple distilled from 100% malted barley and matured for a minimum of 10 years in former Sherry casks and bourbon-seasoned cask.
Nose: Welcoming aroma of honey, vanilla, and milk chocolate, with hints of fruit like apple and pear. In addition to gentle floral note and a touch of spice.
Palate: The sweetness from the nose carries over, joined by notes of toasted malt, oak, and subtle pepper. Hints of honey and citrus linger with a smooth, creamy texture.
Finish: The finish is medium-length, leaving a pleasant warmth and lingering sweetness with hints of oak and spice.
