A fantastic, well aged Irish whiskey from Bushmills Distillery. Bushmills claim to be the oldest licensed distillery found anywhere in the world, with a history dating all the way back to 1608. A single malt, triple distilled in the traditional Irish fashion, this dram has been matured for 16 years in Oloroso Sherry, Port wine and Bourbon casks. The result is a decadent, complex and inviting whiskey.
The history of distilling at the Bushmills site is extremely long. The original license to distil was granted to Sir Thomas Phillips by King James I in 1608, but it is said whiskey may have been made in the area as early as the 1200s.
The distillery was revived again in 1784, and after several periods of closure and reopening, found success in the late 19th century. During this period, Bushmills engaged in early whiskey marketing, sending a steamship named the SS Bushmills to Singapore, Hong Kong and Yokohama, via the United States.
These days, it is one of the most successful Irish distilleries. Bushmills is second only to Midleton (producers of Jameson’s) in terms of size, and for a long time these were the only two distilleries on the island of Ireland. The distillery receives 120,000 tourists a year, and is even on Northern Irish banknotes!
Bushmills 16 is one of the finest products in the distillery’s range. A triple distilled single malt, this dram showcases the soft character of Irish whiskey, complemented nicely by the weight of malt, and the complexity of a triple cask maturation. One every serious drinker should get to know.

Smooth and delicious with great depth of flavour and a sweet finish. Not normally an Irish whisky fan, was pleasantly surprised
Sweet, red fruits, spice, but it's the apple that comes through as another point of interest makes it for me. As a whisk(e)y novice it was a delightful drop and one to add to the wishlist, for sure. Sláinte!
A beautifully flavoured & full-bodied whisky to enjoy as a nightcap to any evening

Great drink, would definitely consider buying this bottle and having again. It was smooth, woody spice flavour with dark fruits.
