Bushmills Steamship Collection Port Cask Reserve

Rich. Complex. A voyage of flavour.
Born from adventure and perfected through craftsmanship, Bushmills Steamship Collection Port Cask Reserve celebrates a remarkable journey in Irish whiskey history. In 1890, the SS Bushmills set sail from Northern Ireland, carrying the distillery’s finest spirits across the world — from the Caribbean to North America, stopping in Portugal, where it returned laden with seasoned Port wine casks. Those very casks inspired this exceptional release, capturing the spirit of exploration that defines Bushmills.

This single malt whiskey is matured exclusively in ruby Port pipes, infusing the classic Bushmills malt with vibrant layers of flavour. Expect rich notes of ripe berries, dark chocolate, and sweet spice, harmoniously intertwined with the distillery’s signature honeyed malt character. It’s an indulgent, full-bodied whiskey that brings together heritage, craftsmanship, and the romance of sea voyages in every glass.

Elegant, complex, and deeply satisfying, Port Cask Reserve stands as a tribute to Bushmills’ pioneering spirit — proof that tradition and innovation can travel hand in hand.

Why we love it:
We love the Port Cask Reserve for its sheer depth and balance — it’s Bushmills’ familiar smoothness wrapped in layers of fruit and spice. The influence of Portuguese Port pipes gives it a velvety richness, making it perfect for slow sipping and quiet reflection. A whiskey that feels both timeless and adventurous, crafted for those who appreciate the beauty of a well-told story in liquid form.
