Bushmills 30-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Bushmills 30-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey is an exquisite and rare expression from the world’s oldest licensed distillery, Bushmills. This whiskey has been meticulously crafted, beginning with an initial maturation in bourbon barrels and sherry butts for 14 years. It is then finished in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for an additional 16 years. This unique aging process imparts a rich complexity and depth of flavor that makes this whiskey a pinnacle of Bushmills' expertise.

Nose: Rich and inviting aromas of dried fruit entwined with toffee. Additional notes of fresh rose stems and citrusy fresh-cut wood, with hints of dew-misted roses, vanilla-toffee, and a subtle antique furniture scent.

Palate: The low burn on the palate offers a combination of fresh dates, buttery citrus, sweet tea, and mango/peach-flavored gummy rings. A fleeting nuttiness on the mid-palate is followed by a peppery essence on the back end.

Finish: Velvety and smooth mouthfeel with hints of dates and figs, followed by praline and orange peel, developing into warm vanilla and pastry notes.

This whiskey pairs excellently with rich and savory dishes such as roasted meats, grilled seafood, and aged cheeses. Its complex flavor profile also complements desserts like dark chocolate torte, fruit tarts, and nut-based pastries.
