Bushmills 400th Anniversary Single Malt Irish Whisky 700 ML

Description

Released to mark the distillery’s 400th anniversary, this special edition is a blended whiskey crafted from three distinct distillates: the classic triple-distilled Bushmills spirit, a delicate grain whiskey, and a unique Bushmills distillate made from crystal malt. This crystal malt is created by increasing the kilning temperature from 140°C to an intense 500°C, forming a fine crystalline layer around the grain. While this process produces a sweeter malt, it is 60% less efficient than traditional malt. Notably, grain whiskey makes up just 5% of the blend. Bottled in 2008, this expression was matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks.
