Bushmills 16 Year Old (700mL)
Bushmills 16 Year Old (700mL)

A fantastic, well aged Irish whiskey from Bushmills Distillery. Bushmills claim to be the oldest licensed distillery found anywhere in the world, with a history dating all the way back to 1608. A single malt, triple distilled in the traditional Irish fashion, this dram has been matured for 16 years in Oloroso Sherry, Port wine and Bourbon casks. The result is a decadent, complex and inviting whiskey.

Details

The history of distilling at the Bushmills site is extremely long. The original license to distil was granted to Sir Thomas Phillips by King James I in 1608, but it is said whiskey may have been made in the area as early as the 1200s. 

The distillery was revived again in 1784, and after several periods of closure and reopening, found success in the late 19th century. During this period, Bushmills engaged in early whiskey marketing, sending a steamship named the SS Bushmills to Singapore, Hong Kong and Yokohama, via the United States. 

These days, it is one of the most successful Irish distilleries. Bushmills is second only to Midleton (producers of Jameson’s) in terms of size, and for a long time these were the only two distilleries on the island of Ireland. The distillery receives 120,000 tourists a year, and is even on Northern Irish banknotes!

Bushmills 16 is one of the finest products in the distillery’s range. A triple distilled single malt, this dram showcases the soft character of Irish whiskey, complemented nicely by the weight of malt, and the complexity of a triple cask maturation. One every serious drinker should get to know.

Tasting notes

Nose

Instantly sweet with Port wine red fruits, apples and rich floral honey. Some Oloroso nuttiness emerges, with a soft cinnamon and nutmeg spice joined by a light oakiness.

Taste

Pure Christmas Cake! Dried figs are joined by sultanas, currants and clove studded citrus. Caramel sweetness takes hold, alongside some cinnamon-spiced apples.

Finish

Long and complex, with delicate apples, pears and baking spices. Leave this one in the glass for a while, and you’ll discover something new.

Where have you been my whole life

I've never drunk a whiskey as quick as this. The sweet caramelly notes with a nice spice. I'll definitely be buying a bottle of this.

Bushmills is the best

Loved the sample so much I had to purchase a full bottle immediately. ( Bonus of the members discount & a free delivery weekend enhanced the value) Bushmills Triple Distilled 16 year is the smoothest easy to drink whiskey I have ever had Highly recommend that everyone should have a bottle handy as it is sure to impress.
