Step aboard the SS Bushmills and embark on an exquisite journey with the second release of The Steamship Collection, the Bushmills Steamship Port Cask Reserve. This remarkable single malt Irish whiskey was born in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the SS Bushmills steamship's first voyage, merging the romanticism of seafaring with the craftsmanship of distilling.
At the heart of this commemorative release lies a meticulous selection of ruby port pipes, sourced annually from the distinguished artisans of Portugal's Douro Valley. Once emptied of their initial contents, these port casks undertake a journey back to the Old Bushmills Distillery in Northern Ireland. Here, they are filled with the distillery's signature triple-distilled single malt, which slowly absorbs the bold berry notes left within the wood during maturation.
The end result is an irresistible symphony of flavours. On the palate, you'll find rich, full-bodied notes of damsons and almonds, contrasted by the sophisticated bitterness of black coffee. It all culminates in a rich, complex, and silky finish that underscores the depth of character this whiskey has acquired through its time in ruby port pipes.
From the heart of one of the world's oldest and most prestigious distilleries, the Bushmills Steamship Port Cask Reserve stands as a testament to over four centuries of Irish whiskey-making tradition. Whether you're a seasoned whiskey connoisseur or looking for an unforgettable gift, this premium-aged single malt is sure to delight.
