Bushmills 10 Year Private Reserve Plum Brandy Casks Irish Whiskey

Introducing the Bushmills 10 Year Private Reserve Plum Brandy Casks Irish Whiskey, a sublime addition to the Bushmills Private Reserve Collection. This series pays homage to Bushmills’ pioneering role in the creation of the original Irish single malt tradition, showcasing the distillery’s innovative spirit through small batch single malts with exceptional cask finishes. This 10 Year Old single malt represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, matured to perfection and finished in distinctive Plum Brandy casks from the renowned Alsace region of France.

Maturation Mastery:

• Primary Maturation: The whiskey’s journey begins in American oak barrels from Kelvin Cooperage, followed by further maturation in Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry butts from the prestigious Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage. This dual maturation process lays a complex and flavorful foundation.
• Secondary Maturation: The maturation culminates with a minimum of four years in Plum Brandy casks sourced from Alsace, France. This unique finish adds an exquisite layer of balanced sweetness and depth to the whiskey, enriching its profile with an unparalleled smoothness.

Tasting Notes:

• The interplay of casks creates a whiskey of harmonious complexity. The bourbon barrels contribute rich vanilla and oak undertones, while the Oloroso sherry casks add layers of dried fruits and spice. The finishing touch comes from the Plum Brandy casks, which introduce a balanced sweetness, elevating the whiskey to a realm of refined complexity and depth.
