Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a 25-year-old Irish single malt from the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, and its story is told in the cask. It is first matured in a combination of bourbon barrels and sherry butts, then spends 21 years finishing in first-fill ruby port pipes, and that long port influence shows in every sip. The nose brings intense hedgerow dark fruit with honey and gentle toasted wood. The palate follows with caramelized cherries, plums and blackberries over sweet almond, rich dark chocolate and soft spice. The finish is long and elegant, with damson, honey and a lingering hint of oak. It suits the collector or the seasoned malt drinker curious how far extended port finishing can take a malted-barley whiskey, and it rewards slow, neat sipping in a tulip glass. The first release was limited to 3,500 bottles, which makes it a meaningful shelf piece as well as a pour. We carry it because it is a rare, deeply fruit-driven expression of Irish single malt, and few bottles show the port cask this clearly.
Pairs well with
- Aged gouda or blue cheese — The cheese's savory depth sets off the whiskey's rich dark fruit and nutty almond notes.
- Dark chocolate cherry tart — The chocolate and cherry echo the caramelized cherries and dark chocolate on the palate.
- Milestone celebration nightcap — A long, elegant finish of dark fruit, honey and toasted oak makes it a pour to linger over when marking a special occasion.
