Bushmills 16Y Single Malt

Layered. Lush. A masterclass in cask finishing.
Few whiskeys embody the quiet elegance of Irish distilling quite like Bushmills 16-Year-Old Single Malt. Crafted on the rugged north coast of Ireland, where sea mist meets ancient stone walls, this exceptional whiskey reflects over four centuries of mastery at the Old Bushmills Distillery, the world’s oldest licensed distillery.

Aged for a remarkable sixteen years, this single malt is nurtured first in Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, before being finished in Port wine pipes — a rare triple-cask maturation that brings layers of depth, sweetness, and complexity. Each stage adds something unique: Bourbon wood imparts smooth vanilla and honey; Sherry casks lend rich notes of dried fruit and spice; and the final Port finish brings luscious berry tones and a touch of red wine warmth.

The result is a whiskey of remarkable harmony — deep, velvety, and endlessly complex. Aromas of ripe plum, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts unfold into a palate of honeyed malt, red berries, and sweet spice. Its texture is rich and rounded, gliding into a long, warming finish with whispers of oak and fruit preserves.

Every sip of Bushmills 16-Year-Old feels like an ode to time — time spent aging in the calm darkness of the distillery’s coastal warehouses, and time spent perfecting the art of Irish whiskey. It’s a bottle that rewards patience, reflection, and appreciation.

Why we love it:
We love Bushmills 16-Year-Old for its depth and sophistication. The triple maturation in Bourbon, Sherry, and Port casks creates a flavour experience that’s layered yet beautifully balanced. It’s the kind of whiskey that invites you to slow down and savour every drop — the perfect expression of Bushmills’ patient artistry and Ireland’s rich whiskey-making heritage.
