Bushmills Sherry Cask

Bushmills Sherry Cask Reserve is a triple-distilled Irish whiskey crafted at the world’s oldest licensed distillery, dating back to 1608. Matured exclusively in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, it offers a richer, deeper profile than the classic Bushmills expressions. The influence of seasoned Spanish oak brings layers of dried fruit, warming spice and soft tannin, while the distillery’s trademark smoothness remains at the heart of this characterful dram.

Bouquet
Warm and expressive, with aromas of sultana, dried fig, baking spice and sweet toffee. A backdrop of sherry-soaked oak and orange peel lifts the nose with elegance.

Palate
Silky and well-rounded. Flavours of stewed fruit, cinnamon, roasted nuts and vanilla unfold over a gentle malt base. The sherry cask influence brings richness and depth, leading to a long, slightly dry finish with notes of oak, raisin and soft spice.

Food Pairing
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to enhance the sherry character. Pair with fruitcake, dark chocolate, blue cheese or roasted almonds for a warming, indulgent treat.

Cellaring
Matured and ready to enjoy now, but will hold its flavour and complexity for years. Once opened, store upright and sealed in a cool, dark place.

Interesting Fact
Bushmills Sherry Cask Reserve was originally released as part of the distillery’s travel retail collection, showcasing their commitment to cask experimentation while preserving their ultra-smooth Irish whiskey style.
