Bushmills - 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey

Bushmills, located in County Antrim on the north coast of Ireland, holds the distinction of being one of the oldest licensed distilleries in the world, with records dating back to 1608.

This 12 Year Old expression represents a cornerstone of their aged range, showcasing the distillery's commitment to triple distillation and their signature smooth character.

Matured exclusively in former Oloroso sherry casks and bourbon barrels for a minimum of twelve years, this Irish single malt develops a rich complexity that sets it apart from younger expressions.

The extended aging allows the spirit to absorb deeper wood influence while maintaining the approachable, honeyed quality that defines Bushmills.

Unlike peated Scotch whiskies, this Irish single malt emphasizes fruit forward sweetness and gentle spice, making it particularly accessible to those exploring aged whisky for the first time.

The distillery sources its barley locally and uses water from the River Bush, contributing to the clean, crisp foundation upon which the sherry and bourbon cask influence builds.

This 12 Year Old bridges the gap between everyday sipping whisky and special occasion bottles, offering genuine maturity at a reasonable price point. It works well neat or with a small splash of water to open up the aromatics.
