Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt
This has been the standard single malt release from Bushmills for many years and is drawn from triple distilled malt that is aged in both bourbon and sherry casks. The sherry cask influence is very subtle (less so than Black Bush), and the overall taste is quite light and delicate. This is more about good bourbon casks maturation and it has a creamy, yet light mouth feel along with some crisp barley, warm vanilla and gentle pepper and spice flavours.

Serving Suggestion | Bushmills malts are fantastic neat whatever the age. However, adding a drop of water helps release the aroma into the glass, really bringing to life the fruity spices. Obviously an ice bucket would have the same effect and make your Bushmills a tad cooler. |
