Triple-distilled from 100% malted barley at the Old Bushmills Distillery, this expression matures for a minimum of eleven years in former sherry and bourbon casks before combining and finishing for a further six to nine months in Marsala wine casks, creating a whiskey genuinely rich in dried fruit and nut flavours. Floral and fruity aromas open the nose with a drop of pear and pineapple alongside a distinct nutty malt character, developing into a creamy, luscious palate of dark chocolate with dried fruit and hazelnut, closing crisp and warm with dried fruit and nut flavours that reflect the complexity this genuinely unique triple-cask maturation achieves.
