Bushmills Caribbean Rum Cask Finish
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.
