Bushmills 'The Rare Casks' Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish 29 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
A unique Single Malt that spent 17 years in Sherry casks.
Bushmills is one of the most popular and enduring Irish Whiskeys. Hugh Anderson registered the company in 1784 in the town of Bushmills and, after a few fits and starts, they have been in continuous operation and growing since 1885. Jose Cuervo purchased the Old Bushmills Distillery from Diageo in 2014, but the suits know to stay out of the way of Irishman crafting their Whiskey. Bushmills currently has six Whiskeys in their core line-up in addition to special editions and releases.
Bushmills 29 Year Old Pedro Ximenez Cask Single Malt Irish Whiskey was triple distilled in 1992 and aged in hand-selected Bourbon casks for over a decade. Then, in 2004, they took it out and finished it in Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks for 17 whole years. Non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength, this single malt has spent over half its life in Sherry casks. The result is a uniquely sweet and rich flavor with layers of dried fruit, praline, orange peel, and malt vanilla rolling down your palate. A harmony of flavors that can only come from, well, time.
