Bushmills
25 Year Old Port Pipes Cask-Finished Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Category: Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 40%
Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of spiced black plum, sticky toffee pudding, rich Corinthian leather, and baked red apple with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish with shades of caramel and cinnamon roasted mixed nuts, maduro tobacco and dried red fruits, spiced black cherry and cocoa nibs, and bread budding with toffee vanilla clotted cream and fig preserves. A beautiful aged Single Malt greets you on the nose with dark old honey, dried red fruits, vibrant orchard fruits, and wood spices; sip slowly and deeply while reminiscing and consider a medium-bodied cigar pairing.

Single malt Irish whiskeys, like their Scottish cousins, are whiskies that are only made with malted barley. They are usually triple distilled through both column and pot stills, although there are a few exclusively pot-distilled brands.
