Bushmills 12 Years Whiskey

Bushmills 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey comes from the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim. It is a marriage of single malts aged for at least 12 years in hand-picked Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, which then spend six months finishing in Marsala barriques from Sicily, giving a full-bodied whiskey with real depth and complexity.

The nose is full-bodied, with dried fruit and spice and a sweet note of candied apple. On the palate it is creamy, with rich honey, spiced fruit, caramelised brown sugar and a distinct nutty malt character. The finish is strong and slightly dry, with lingering complexity and hints of warming ginger and spiced pear. Bottled at 40% ABV, it rewards slow sipping neat or with a drop of water.
