Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey is blended from 80% malt and 20% lighter grains, triple-distilled, and then aged up to 8 years in ex-Oloroso Sherry casks. Naturally deep gold in color, it boasts big aromas of rich fruitcake and intense sherry sweetness. Its soft, silky flavor is full and of nutty character. Complex, and deserving of its fame in Ireland as one of the country's truly great whiskeys.
