Product details
Bushmills 46-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey, known as "Secrets of the River Bush," represents a monumental release from the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, with a history dating back to 1608. Distilled in 1978, this exceptional single malt has matured for 46 years, making it the oldest expression ever offered by Bushmills. This rare whiskey pays homage to the River Bush, whose waters have been integral to the distillery's craftsmanship for over four centuries.
Aged exclusively in two oloroso sherry butts, this whiskey showcases a rich tapestry of flavors. On the nose, it reveals ripe dark fruit aromas, complemented by hints of apricot and caramel. The palate is treated to a harmonious blend of dried fruits, subtle spice, and a lingering sweetness, culminating in a velvety finish. Bottled at a cask strength of 46.3% ABV, this limited release comprises only 300 bottles worldwide, with 100 allocated to the U.S., each priced at $12,500. The whiskey's depth and complexity make it a luxurious accompaniment to fine dining experiences, particularly with dishes like roasted game, aged cheeses, or rich chocolate desserts.
