The Bushmills 2000 Port Cask Finish sees Bushmills’ acclaimed single malt aged exclusively in first fill ruby port casks, for the full maturation period of over 21 years. The ruby port delivers a fresh fruit flavour profile which perfectly compliments the classic Bushmills style of fresh, fruity distillate. The result is highly unusual and complex single malt expression.
A minimum of 19 years in former Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon-seasoned casks, then transferred into Madeira casks for a further 2 years. The result is a whiskey awarded ‘Best Irish Single Malt 2013’. It has huge depth that interweaves dried fruit flavors with spicy, aromatic maltiness and subtle nutty raisin notes.
A combination of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon-seasoned casks, then matured for several months in port wine barrels. The unique maturation process gives this single malt its distinct notes of juicy fruits, nuts and spice, as well as a hint of ruby redness
