Bushmills Causeway Collection Cognac Cask 2010
The 2010 Cognac Cask is a limited edition rare cask finished, cask strength (53.8% ABV) and non chill-filtered Irish single malt. After maturing for over seven years in oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels Master Blender, Alex Thomas, finished this outstanding whiskey in ancient cognac casks from the Charente region in France. Each Limousin oak cask has previously aged exceptional cognac for at least fifteen years, imbuing the whiskey with a rich tableau of ripe fruit, candied figs and hints of almond. Then transferred to cognac casks for a further five years.The years have intensified the cognac’s Ugni Blanc grape aromas, resulting in a single malt bursting with ripe pear and buttery honeycomb with layers of deeper cinnamon spice, leather and dried fruits.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
 |
|
| Nose | Gentle oak married with cinnamon spice, ripe fruits and a honeycomb sweetness |
| Palate | An initial hit of sweet caramel and ripe pear, followed swiftly by flavours of dried dates, sultanas, figs and a hint of almond. This develops into sweet vanilla, warm cinnamon and delicate spices, perfectly showcasing the character of Bushmills and the remarkable aged cognac that was previously housed in these rare casks |
| Finish | An exceptionally comforting long, warm finish that offers a well-balanced complexity of delicate wood flavours that linger on the palate entwined with sweet ripe pear |
