Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey

Bushmills750 ml40% ABV

Sherry-cask matured Irish blend with deep dried-fruit richness

This premium blended Irish whiskey combines an exceptionally high proportion of malt whiskey matured in Oloroso sherry casks with sweet, batch-distilled grain whiskey. The result is a remarkably rich, dark profile that delivers a smooth, velvety texture and deep, complex fruit character.

The story behind it

The maker

Granted a royal license to distil in 1608, Bushmills is the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery. Located in Northern Ireland, it has spent over 400 years perfecting the art of triple-distilling single malt Irish whiskey.

How it is made

Crafted at the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, this expression utilizes copper pot stills designed to produce a clean, fruity spirit. The whiskey's distinctive character is defined by its maturation in hand-selected Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and sweet American oak barrels.
