🍸 The Extraordinary Maturation Process

Bushmills 16 Yo is distinguished by a unique maturation process involving the use of three different types of barrels:

1. Stage 1: Initial aging in Oloroso sherry casks (Spain) and bourbon barrels (USA), for 15 years. Oloroso sherry casks impart notes of dried fruits, nuts and spices to the whiskey, while bourbon casks add vanilla, honey and woody tones.
2. Stage 2: Final finish in port-pipes casks (Portugal) for about a year. This stage infuses the whiskey with fruity notes, dark chocolate and a touch of sweet spices, along with a deep ruby red color.

🍷 Sensory Characteristics

• Color: A deep ruby red, reflecting the final stage of maturation in port-pipes barrels.
• Aroma: A complex bouquet, with notes of juicy fruit (plums, figs, red fruits), roasted nuts, sweet spices, vanilla and dark chocolate.
• Taste: On the palate, the whiskey is rich and well balanced, with flavors of dried fruits (raisins, dates), honey, vanilla and a touch of chocolate. The combination of sweet spices and the fruity character of the port casks create a symphony of flavors that evolves sip after sip.
• Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with a persistence of fruity and spicy notes that linger on the palate. There is also a hint of residual sweetness and a slight tannicity that balances the entire flavor profile.

🍴 Recommended pairings

Bushmills 16 Yo is perfect to enjoy neat, but can also be served on the rocks for a cooler feel. It is ideal as a digestif, to sip after a meal or in good company. Here are some recommended pairings:

• Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate enhances the red fruit notes and sweet spices of whiskey.
