Bushmills 25 Year Old is triple distilled from 100% malted barley and then matured in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts for between 4 and 6 years. It is then finished in first-fill ruby port pipes for a further 21 years to give multiple layers of luxurious dark fruit flavours.
The oak port pipes used for aging were sourced from a family cooperage that shares Bushmill's uncompromising values. The port pipes have been expertly hand-crafted by trusted coopers. They are made from delicate European oak to ensure the interaction between seasoned wood and whiskey is high.
Colour: Red gold
Nose: Rich and complex aromas. Intense ripe hedgerow dark fruits mingle with honey and hints of gentle toasted wood offer the first glimmer of the age of this well-rounded whiskey
Taste: Sweet almond tones followed by caramelised cherries, plums and blackberries delight the taste buds before developing into rich dark chocolate mingled with sweet spices and finishing with luxurious honey and damson
Finish: Remarkable ever present warm oak, with port sweetness and gentle spice continues to flourish on the palate long after the last drop has glided down. It invites you to taste this exquisite single malt again and again.
A special single malt that's best enjoyed neat.
