About This Whiskey
Bushmills 30 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey represents the very best of Irish whiskey heritage and innovation. Crafted at the legendary Bushmills Distillery on the north coast of Ireland, this exquisite whiskey Ireland release is matured in a complex combination of casks that define its depth and character. After 14 years in both Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, the spirit is given an extraordinary 16-year finishing period in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The result is a whiskey of unparalleled richness, bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered to preserve its natural character.
This is the first-ever 30 Year Old whiskey to become a permanent part of the Bushmills portfolio, and it sets a new benchmark for luxury Irish single malts. From its deeply layered nose to its velvety, lingering finish, every drop speaks of time, mastery, and patience. Whether you're looking to buy whiskey online for gifting, collecting, or enjoying on a special occasion, this exceptional release offers the kind of quality rarely seen in any category.
