Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a 100% malted barley single malt from the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim. It is triple-distilled and matured in seasoned bourbon barrels and sherry casks, and the two are then married together. It carries a 12-year age statement and is bottled at an easygoing 40% ABV. The nose is floral and fruity, with pear, pineapple and sweet malt. The palate brings dark chocolate, raisin, apricot and hazelnut, and the finish is smooth with gentle oak. It makes a natural first step into Irish single malt for anyone who knows only blends. Seasoned drinkers get a dependable reference point for how sherry influence and triple distillation shape the style. Whiskey Advocate rated it 90 points, which fits what we taste in the glass. We carry it because it does double duty so well. It rewards a slow neat pour in a tulip glass, yet it keeps its chocolate and dried-fruit character in a Whiskey Sour or an Irish Old Fashioned.
Pairs well with
- Creamy brie or mild cheddar — The cheese's richness complements the whiskey's fruity pear and dried-apricot notes as well as its nutty hazelnut character.
- High-cocoa dark chocolate — Dark chocolate echoes and deepens the whiskey's own rich chocolate and raisin flavors.
- Summer evening highball hour — Topped with soda water and a lemon twist, it becomes a light, refreshing drink that lifts its floral and tropical-fruit aromas.
