About this product
Balanced. Refined. A quietly complex Irish single malt.
Aged for a full twelve years in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, Bushmills 12 Year Old is a masterclass in balance and subtle sophistication. Originally released for the travel retail market, this expression has earned high praise for its silky mouthfeel, layered fruit notes, and mellow spice, all hallmarks of the Bushmills distilling tradition.
With a richer profile than the 10 Year Old and a smoother finish than many of its Scotch counterparts, Bushmills 12Y is ideal for those who enjoy complexity without heaviness, and elegance without excess.
Why we love it:
It’s a beautiful bridge between the youthful freshness of the 10Y and the layered complexity of the 16Y—offering smooth sipping with enough depth to keep you coming back for more.

About the producer
Founded in 1608, Bushmills holds the oldest distilling license in the world and continues to operate from its original site along the rugged coast of Northern Ireland. Using 100% malted barley, pure water from Saint Columb’s Rill, and traditional copper pot stills, Bushmills has remained a benchmark for quality in Irish whiskey. The 12 Year Old showcases the distillery’s core strengths—smoothness, structure, and exceptional wood management.
