Best Irish Whiskey' San Francisco WSC.
This is presently the Super Premium Bushmills offering and is only available in limited quantities. Launched in 2001, this malt is a 50:50 combination of whiskey matured for 19 years in a combination of oloroso sherry casks and bourbon casks, married together and then finished for over 2 years in madeira casks.
The result is a whiskey of considerable depth that interweaves dried fruit flavours with spicy, aromatic maltiness and subtle nutty toasted raisin notes.
A mix of bourbon and sherry casks matured for 19 years before the last two years are spent finishing in ex-Madeira casks, this is the top of Bushmill's regular range.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Big and generous. Shifting into coffee cake with butter icing. Water makes it reminiscent of a bodega then comes mint, citrus zest and in time tanned leather. Grist-like sweetness.
Palate: Better grip, some substance and a dried fruit edge along with red liquorice.
Finish: Firm, nutty and clean.
Comment: Good flow, balance and grip. A powerhouse.
