Bushmills Malt 10 Year Old
County Antrim — Bushmills Distillery, United Kingdom
About this product
Bushmills Malt 10 Year Old is the pure single malt expression from the world's oldest licensed distillery — 100% malted barley, triple-distilled in copper pot stills, and matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon American oak casks. It is the most Scotch-like of Irish whiskies in character: light-bodied, fragrant, fruity, with the smoothness added by triple distillation. Where Scottish single malts might have peat smoke or robust oak tannin, Bushmills 10 Year Old offers pure, clean malt with honey and orchard fruit — the ideal Irish single malt for Scotch drinkers exploring Irish whiskey.
