Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a 26-year-old single malt from the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, made from malted barley and bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a crystal decanter. A quarter century of maturation shows in the glass: dried apricot, honey, vanilla bean and toasted almond on the nose, then caramel, orchard fruit, dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut and warm baking spice on the palate, with a long finish of oak, honey and dried fruit. It is a sipping whiskey through and through. It best suits the collector, or the enthusiast who already knows Irish malt and wants to see how far age can take its fruit-forward character. It also makes a considered gift for a milestone birthday, anniversary or retirement. We carry it because a limited-edition Irish single malt at this age is a genuine collector's piece, and this one keeps its oak integrated rather than letting it dominate. Pour it neat, give it a few minutes, and let it open.
Pairs well with
- Aged cheese board — The whiskey's toasted almond and roasted hazelnut notes complement the nutty, savory depth of aged cheeses.
- Dark chocolate — The dark chocolate and caramel on the palate echo the cocoa, while the dried apricot adds a fruity lift.
- Milestone anniversary toast — A long, elegant finish of honey and dried fruit makes it a whiskey to linger over on an occasion worth remembering.
