Well‚ it takes a special dedication to create the Bushmills 16 year-old‚ that and lots of patience. Two whiskeys are matured for 16 years‚ one in a bourbon barrel and the other in sherry‚ and then they are married together in a sweet port infused cask. It’s a marriage made in heaven!
Nose: Aromatic nose with hints of almondsalmonds and a nutty sweetness.
Taste: A warm port sweetness on the back of the throat that drifts up to form an almond‚ marzipan fusion with hints of Honey beehoney and pralin
Finish: Deep‚ jammy and dark chocolate.
This robust single-malt whiskey is matured in Sherry and Bourbon casks before finishing for several months in Port barrels. Look for a balanced mix of creamy caramel, maple, dried apricots, a subtle raspberry jam note and a rounded, spicy finish.
