Made in the world’s oldest licensed distillery, this expression is a masterclass in balance, matured in sherry and bourbon casks, then married in Marsala wine barrels for a final flourish of elegance. Smooth, structured, and unmistakably Bushmills.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Red apple, honeyed pear, cinnamon bark, and a trace of wine-soaked oak, like walking into a spice shop next to a patisserie.
Palate: Silky and rounded. Notes of stone fruit, caramelized sugar, milk chocolate, and dried fig move gracefully over soft malt.
Finish: Medium-long with warming spice, candied orange peel, and a light touch of toasted oak.
