The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
Bushmills Irish Whiskey, from the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, mark their bold entry into the ultra-prestige single malt category with the introduction of two, ultra-rare, permanent additions to their prestigious core range of single malts – a 25 and 30 Year Old.
Drawn from the greatest reserve of aged single malt Irish whiskey in the world, Bushmills are the only producers in Ireland that have ample enough stock to release whiskey of such high age statements annually. With their unrivalled malt stock and of over 400 years of whiskey-making experience, the launch of its 25 and 30 Year Old Single Malts further cements Bushmills at the forefront of Irish single malt and prestige whiskey growth.
Bushmills 25 Year Old: is a non chill-filtered expertly crafted Irish single malt matured in bourbon barrels and sherry butts for almost six years and finished first-fill ruby port pipe oak casks for an additional 21 years. The delicate European oak elevates Bushmills’ floral and fruity signature style with beautifully intense fruit and soft spice flavors for over two decades.
Bushmills 30 Year Old: distilled in 1992, this is the oldest expression Bushmills has released as part of its core range to date. The non chill-filtered liquid was patiently matured in bourbon barrels and sherry butts for 14 years and finished in first-fill Pedro Ximénez casks for the remaining 16 years to give it generations of rich and elegant dried fruit flavors. An exquisite whiskey, Bushmills 30 Year Old is characterized by signature cherry aromas of dried fruits and boasts a deep PX complexity.
Bushmills 25 and 30 Year Old single malt Irish whiskeys, which are both bottled at 46% ABV, are currently available in limited quantities throughout the United States and will be available worldwide within the coming months. A 700ml bottle of Bushmills 25 Year Old can be purchased at a SRP of $900.00 and Bushmills 30 Year Old at an SRP of $2,200..
