The Bushmills Private Reserve whiskeys are a testament to the greatest reserves of rare aged Irish single malt, which the Bushmills distillery maintains. These vintage, non-chill filtered releases of small batch single malts are hand selected from unique cask finishes, offering whiskey enthusiasts unrivalled access to bespoke Bushmills expressions with flavor profiles distinct from its core range. This 10 Year Old single malt is first matured in carefully selected bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks for a total of 6 years before finishing for a minimum of 4 years in first fill Pomerol Bordeaux casks. While the bourbon casks impart rich hints of vanilla and oak, the sherry casks infuse the whiskey with notes of dried fruits and spice, and the Bordeaux casks add subtle notes of currants, resulting in a whiskey of intense character.
