- Bushmills' 1997 rum cask expression spent 25 years in American oak rum casks before bottling at 46.2% ABV as part of The Causeway Collection curated by master blender Alex Thomas. This triple-distilled Irish single malt gains tropical fruit notes and an unconventional funk from its rum cask maturation, bottled non-chill filtered for full flavor.
