Bushmills 30 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey is triple-distilled from malted barley and aged for 30 years. The whiskey matured for 14 years in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts before spending another 14 years in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks seasoned for two years in Jerez, Spain. Bottled at 46% ABV, this release was limited to 775 bottles.
There’s a sticky PX mouthfeel, with prune juice, morello cherry, dried fig, peppery spice, and clove, adding more pronounced prune flesh, dried vine fruits, vanilla essence, and citrus peel notes before a soothing finish of buttered fruitcake with a spicy kick.
Smooth texture with a slightly cloying viscous aspect which showcases an abundance of decadent flavors. Absolutely incredible on the nose, with a medium to long finish that doesn't quite deliver what is detected on the nose, yet nonetheless begs the truly inclined single malt enthusiast to spend some time identifying the many tasting notes within its broad flavor profile.
