Vanilla Vanilla Sweet Sweet Almonds Almonds Sherry Sherry
Variety Single Malt Whiskey
Aroma Vanilla and almond, plus deep and rich notes of dried fruit and spices. The finish in Colheita port wine barrels brings fresh, intense fruit flavours and a subtle crème brûlée sweetness.
Taste Warming oak tones and sweet vanilla combine with pronounced dried fruit, accompanied by nutty and spicy undertones. Added to this is the fruitiness of the port wine, complemented by a velvety sweetness.
Finish Long-lasting and complex with renewed oak notes, accompanied by dried fruit and spicy nuances. The fruity sweetness of the port wine ensures a soft and round finish that ends warmly and harmoniously.

Product description

Product description
Bushmills is expanding its World Wood Series with an 18-year-old single malt, which complements the previous series of twelve, fifteen and twenty-one-year-old bottlings. The Irish whiskey initially matured for at least 17 years in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts before receiving its final maturation in rare Colheita port casks. Colheita refers to a single vintage port that is made exclusively from grapes from a single harvest year and undergoes a minimum ageing period of seven years. Unlike regular Tawny Port, the grapes are not blended, meaning that the flavour expression can vary depending on the vintage. The combination of the three types of cask gives Bushmills whiskey a special aromatic depth and complexity. The long maturation in bourbon casks leads to soft vanilla and almond notes, while the Oloroso sherry butts expand the profile with pronounced dried fruit flavours and subtle spice tones. The final maturation in the rare Colheita port wine barrels produces fresh and intense fruit flavours that combine with a silky sweetness and are reminiscent of crème brûlée.

The Distillery: Bushmills

The Old Bushmills Distillery is probably the oldest licensed Whiskey distillery in the world - its licence dates back to 1608. It was officially founded in 1784 by Hugh Anderson in the Northern Irish town of Bushmills. Since then, Bushmills has been synonymous with traditionally triple-distilled, mild Irish Whiskey. Today, the distillery is one of Ireland's best-known names and combines centuries-old craftsmanship with an unmistakable flavour. read more

    Aroma: vielschichtig, Sherry Dried Fruit Sweet

    Geschmack: wunderbar cremiges Mundgefühl, bin begeistert, Cognac-ähnlich, zuerst kommt eine Fassnote, begleitet von süßen Früchten, danach füllt sich alles mit feinen Nuancen an Gewürzen

    Abgang: wunderbar lang mit Anklängen von Marmelade

    Kommentar: Hervorragend. Kaufe ich wieder.
