Description
Bushmills SHERRY CASK Reserve The Steamship Collection 40% vol. 1 l + GB is an exclusive limited edition from the historic Old Bushmills Distillery and forms part of the coveted Steamship Collection. This special series pays homage to the historic steamships on which Bushmills exported its whiskies all over the world at the end of the 19th century, thereby securing access to the finest casks. For the Sherry Cask Reserve, high-quality malt whisky has been specially matured in selected Oloroso sherry butts. The intensive cask maturation gives the whisky its unmistakable character, with pronounced fruity and spicy notes and exceptional smoothness. The generous 1.0 l bottle is presented in a high-quality gift box and is ideal as a present or for collectors of exclusive Bushmills bottlings.
At 40% ABV, the Bushmills SHERRY CASK Reserve is particularly harmonious and full-bodied. Maturation in Oloroso sherry casks creates a complex interplay of aromas, including ripe dried fruit, spicy honey and dark chocolate. Bushmills’ signature triple distillation process lends the whisky its elegant smoothness, whilst the selected sherry casks add further depth and complexity. The result is a well-balanced Irish whisky with a pleasantly long, sweet and smooth finish.
