The crowd-pleaser amongst seasoned whiskey drinkers.
Bushmills 16 Year Old Single Malt is matured for at least 16 years in Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels before being sun-drenched in port pipes for up to a year, transforming the colour to a beautiful ruby red and adding layers of juicy sun-ripened dark fruit and berries, complex almond nuttiness and a treacly vanilla spice.
The ultimate gift for the seasoned whiskey drinker.

Serving Suggestion
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.
