- Description
- This 2002 vintage from Bushmills underwent over 18 years in bourbon and sherry casks before a finishing period of over two years in vermouth casks, making it the first Irish single malt finished in vermouth oak. The unconventional final maturation would have introduced herbal complexity and oxidative depth to the spirit.
