Bushmills THE CAUSEWAY COLLECTION Single Malt Madeira Casks 1996 50,3% Vol. 0,7l in gift box

Description

Bushmills Distillery, located in picturesque County Antrim in Northern Ireland, is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. Its origins date back to 1608, when Sir Thomas Phillips was granted the first licence to produce whiskey in the region. For over 400 years, the art of whiskey production has been cultivated here at Bushmills Distillery and passed down from generation to generation.

The Causeway Collection was named after the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site Giant’s Causeway, whose impressive basalt formations provided the inspiration for these exceptional whiskeys. Each bottling in the collection is characterised by a variety of different cask maturations and is bottled with a high alcohol content and without chill-filtration.

Bushmills THE CAUSEWAY COLLECTION Madeira Casks initially matures for six years in a combination of Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. Its exceptional finish comes from an impressive 19 years of ageing in Madeira casks.
