Bushmills has always stood its ground in the face of adversary, natural, and economic distaster, rising from the ashes ever stronger. Today, Bushmills remains an icon of Irish Whiskey. Spearheading Bushmills' new "The Rare Casks" series is the Bushmills 28 Year Old Single Malt Cognac Whiskey, one that takes us on a journey through the illustrious career of Master Blender Helen Mulholland. One of the very first batches she worked on, she has kept a watchful eye over it ever since the spirit was distilled in 1992. Built on their unpeated single malt, this expression was first aged for 11 years in Oloroso sherry casks before being transferred to meticulously-sourced ultra-rare Cognac casks for another 17 years. Complex, rich, deep, and nuanced, this rare Irish whiskey was bottled on July 7th, 2020 at 93.4 proof.
Nose: It's a complex, rich, and deep expression with citrus, almond, roasted caramel, prunes, baking spices, and plenty of wood on the nose.
Palate: The palate continues with dried apricot, orange marmalade, and roasted almonds.
Finish: Finishes slightly warming with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.
