- Description
- Bushmills' 16-year-old single malt draws character from three different cask types: bourbon, Port, and sherry, which layer fruit, nuts, and spice across the palate. Made in Northern Ireland using methods refined over 400 years, it demonstrates how cask choice shapes flavour in Irish whisky.
