Product details
Bushmills 12-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Ireland's oldest licensed distillery, established in 1784. This exceptional whiskey is triple-distilled from 100% malted barley, ensuring a smooth and refined character. It undergoes a unique maturation process, spending at least 11 years in a combination of former sherry and bourbon casks. The whiskey is then finished for 6 to 9 months in Marsala wine casks, imparting a rich tapestry of dried fruit and nut flavors.
On the nose, this deep amber whiskey reveals enticing dried fruit aromas. The palate is richly complex, offering notes of sherry, dark chocolate, and subtle spices, culminating in a smooth finish. This versatile single malt pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Its rich flavors complement savory meats like roasted duck or lamb, while the dark chocolate and dried fruit notes enhance desserts such as fig tarts or chocolate mousse. Whether sipped neat or enjoyed alongside a meal, Bushmills 12-Year-Old Single Malt offers a distinguished and memorable tasting experience.
