Aged in Three Woods.
This is a whiskey for the connoisseur of aged malt whiskeys. To be savoured neat or with just a small drop of water, it is a proud expression of the centuries old tradition of malt whiskey distilling at the Old Bushmills Distillery.
Maturing in Oloroso sherry and bourbon before finishing in marsala casks gives this unique single malt whiskey its rich dried fruit and sherry complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Amber.
Nose: Very very fruity. Peaches, bananas, mango straight off the bat. These then give way to the sherry influence with marzipan, raisins, malt and a hint of allspice.
In the mouth: It has a light, delicate mouthfeel. Very honeyed with cloves initially, like a cold ‘hot toddy’ then the fruit makes its appearance, caramelised banana, Seville orange zest, sweet malt with clove spice running throughout before notes of chocolate, raisins and star anise come to the fore. The finish is medium, remaining sweet although with a touch of spicy European oak.
