Bushmills 16 Year Old Port Finish Single Malt Irish Whiskey 700mL

Buckle up. Bushmills Single Malt Whiskey 16 year old is truly one of the great whiskeys of the world. Aged for about 15 years in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and bourbon-seasoned casks, and then finished for about 9 months in port wine pipes (large barrels unique to making port wine.) This single malt shows its layers of flavor, juicy fruits, nuts and spice, as well as a hint of ruby redness.

Aged for a minimum of 16 years in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon seasoned casks, then finished for several months in Port Wine barrels, BUSHMILLS 16 Year Old is a unique maturation which imparts distinct notes of juicy fruits, nuts and spice, as well as a hint of ruby redness.

It’s best enjoyed neat. Okay, maybe one small cube of ice to open it up.

"The fragrance on the nose is quite intense with dried fruit and nuts due to the wine finishes on most of the whiskey. Oatmeal raisin cookies, nuts, a dose of dark chocolate, these are all presented on a silver platter. There is an amiable amount of char smoke throughout the dram." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (92 Points)

"Distinctive for its classic three-wood maturation profile, this has complex layers of dark fruits to unravel on the nose: Dried cranberry and blackberry mingle with walnut and black pepper. It's a satisfyingly smooth and spicy number amid the flavorsome tussle of port and sherry elements in the mouth. Damson and other plums occupy the mid-palate; it's enjoyably nutty and soaked in delicious portwood flavors." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)
