Bushmills Caribbean Rum Cask Finish
70cl
/
40% Vol
A very welcome new addition to the core range of Bushmills. This expression has used high quality rum casks from the Caribbean which have been then transported to Antrim for finishing single malt from the distillery. This whiskey has then been blended with triple-distilled grain whiskey to create a whiskey packed full of tropical fruit and dry spice flavours. This release is the first in a line of new cask finish whiskeys from the distillery, what will be next? We will just have to wait and see.

FAQs
Bushmills Original Irish Whiskey typically retails from €25 to €30 for a 70cl bottle. Bushmills Black Bush, a sherry cask influenced blend, sits between €30 and €38. The Bushmills single malt range, aged 10, 16, and 21 years, progresses from approximately €45 to €130 and above. The 21 Year Old, finished in Madeira casks, represents the most collectible expression in the standard lineup and is frequently cited among the finest aged Irish single malts available.
Yes, and the single malt range in particular is seriously underrated. Bushmills is the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, operating since 1608 in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Triple distillation through copper pot stills produces the characteristic light orchard fruit, honeyed malt, and delicate spice profile. The 21 Year Old Madeira Cask Finished expression stands as one of the most accomplished aged Irish whiskeys available and consistently outperforms its price point.
Yes. Bushmills Irish Whiskey is distilled from malted barley and grain, and triple distilled through copper pot stills. The distillation process removes gluten proteins from the grain derived wash to below detectable levels. Bushmills is considered gluten free under current food safety guidelines. As with all grain distilled spirits, individuals with clinically diagnosed coeliac disease should consult their medical advisor before consuming.
Bushmills is an Irish whiskey distillery and brand based in the village of Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, home to the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, operating since 1608.

Bushmills is made at Old Bushmills Distillery in Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on the northeast coast. Water comes from Saint Columb's Rill, a tributary of the River Bush.
