Bushmills 12 Year Old delivers a rich and smooth single malt experience with a unique Marsala wine cask finish. Perfect for sipping neat or over ice, this Irish whiskey offers layers of dried fruit and spice from its triple wood maturation.
Maturing in Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon before finishing in Marsala Casks gives this Triple Wood Single Malt whiskey its rich dried fruit and sherry complexity.
Bushmills 12 Year Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey builds on the classic Bushmills house style, enhanced with a distinctive Marsala wine cask finish that adds extra richness and complexity. Matured for a minimum of 12 years in hand-selected Oloroso sherry casks and bourbon barrels, the whiskey is then finished in Marsala casks for up to six months, bringing additional layers of dried fruit sweetness, gentle spice and depth of flavour. The result is a smooth, full-bodied single malt with inviting aromas of dried fruit, warming spice and candied apple. On the palate it is creamy and rounded, with notes of rich honey, spiced fruit, caramelised brown sugar and nutty malt. The finish is long and gently dry, with lingering hints of ginger and spiced pear. Perfect for sipping neat, enjoying over ice, or gifting to whiskey lovers who appreciate aged Irish single malt.
