Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This single malt comes from the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim. It is made from 100% malted barley, triple distilled, and carries a 16-year age statement. It is aged in seasoned bourbon barrels and sherry casks, then finished in port pipes. That three-wood approach is what sets it apart on the shelf. The nose offers dried fruit, toffee, almond, and caramel. The palate turns full-bodied and concentrated, with dried figs, toasted nuts, honey, vanilla bean, and toasty oak, while the port adds dark chocolate and red berries. The finish is long, balancing sweetness and spice with lingering oak and dried fruit. At 40% ABV it stays approachable, making it a natural step up for anyone moving from younger Irish whiskey into aged single malt. Collectors who enjoy layered cask influence will find plenty to explore too. We carry it because it shows how much depth triple-distilled Irish malt can draw from thoughtful wood, and because it rewards slow, neat sipping.

Pairs well with

Blue cheese or aged cheddar — Their sharp, savory richness complements the whiskey's dried fig and dark fruit notes.
High-cocoa dark chocolate — Dark chocolate amplifies the sweet, berry-tinged character the port pipes bring to the palate.
Slow after-dinner sipping — The long finish of oak, spice, and dried fruit is made for an unhurried pour at the end of a meal.
