Big news from the Irish whiskey<\/a> world: Bushmills<\/a> has opened its second site, the Causeway Distillery, and treated us to two new whiskeys to celebrate, the 25 Year Old and the 30 Year Old. We hopped over the Irish sea to check it all out.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The newest distillery from the world\u2019s oldest licensed distillery \u2013 that\u2019s pretty cool, isn\u2019t it? Sat just a stone\u2019s throw from the Old Bushmills Distillery, the new Causeway Distillery (taking its name from the nearby Giant\u2019s Causeway) is an impressive feat indeed, standing dramatically tall and incredibly shiny without being overly imposing. I think it\u2019s the sheer number of windows that prevent it from becoming too intimidating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2022 Bushmills surpassed one million case sales for the first time in its history, but of course plans for the Causeway Distillery began long before then. Around 20 years ago, in fact. \u201cIf you go back to the day when I started 21 years ago, there was a 20-year plan made for the whole 65-acre site \u2013 where we were going to build warehouses and where we were going to build the new distillery,\u201d master distiller Colum Egan tells me. The planned site for the new distillery held over the two decades, and is exactly where the Causeway distillery sits now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bushmills Causeway Distillery<\/h2>\n

Opening a \u00a337 million site is certainly one way to celebrate 415 years of whiskey heritage, and is part of owner Proximo’s \u00a360 million investment in its Irish single malt distilling and ageing facility at Bushmills over the past five years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we decided to build the new distillery we were actually running out of warehouse space, so we had to double the size of the site and started building warehouses,\u201d Egan tells me. They now have 460,000 barrels maturing.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some fun facts to accompany the new distillery \u2013 it\u2019s 39,000 sq ft, and has managed to reduce energy usage by 30% while boosting material consumption efficiency by up to 10%, taking Bushmills\u2019 production capacity from five million litres of alcohol per annum to 11 million litres. While the spirit stills are the same (7,000-litre charge) the wash stills are bigger in the new Causeway distillery, but the dimensions and profile remain the same, just scaled up. The liquid produced here will be indistinguishable from that of Old Bushmills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bushmills<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s more than hard numbers. You can now stand in the middle of the Causeway distillery and oversee every step of the whisky-making process, something which is seldom seen in older distilleries which have been altered and built around over the years like Old Bushmills. Sustainability is a big part of the new Causeway Distillery, which will be run entirely on electricity from green sources, spent barley goes to local farms within five hours to use as animal feed, all while offsetting 12,500 tonnes of carbon emissions by planting 80,000 trees. With time, the team are hoping to make the equipment boosting the Causeway site\u2019s efficiency small enough to put into the old distillery.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Bushmills 25 & 30 Year Old<\/h3>\n

Now it wouldn\u2019t be a distillery opening without some whiskey, would it? Bushmills has pulled out all the stops for the occasion, releasing two new core additions to the range: the 25 Year Old and the 30 Year Old*. The fact that Bushmills has the stock to make these ongoing releases is quite the flex. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to think that we have enough stock to put those into the core range for the foreseeable years,\u201d says master blender Alex Thomas, who has been at Bushmills for 19 years. \u201cNot many distilleries can hold that title that they were able to lay down whisky 30 years ago and wait until now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These whiskeys take the meaning of a finishing period to a new level \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s more of a second maturation. The 25 Year Old spends its first four years in bourbon and sherry casks before slumbering the next 21 years in a Port cask. The casks are constructed specially for Bushmills, so the team have complete control over the seasoning and flavour profile. \u201cFor me it just showcases Bushmills,\u201d Thomas says as we taste it together. \u201cThe house style is there, but it has really opened up to all the flavours from the cask.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bushmills

Not one, but two new core whiskeys were released to celebrate<\/p><\/div>\n

As for the 30 Year Old, this is the oldest expression in the brand\u2019s core collection to date. It\u2019s initially matured in the bourbon and sherry combo for 14 years before another 16 years in Pedro Xim\u00e9nez casks. \u201cFive years is the age difference, which is nothing in the grand scheme of whisky, but the cask profile is phenomenal,\u201d Thomas muses. \u201cFor someone who is not a patient person normally, whisky deserves the time!\u201d Both clocking in at 46% ABV, she welcomes the addition of a drop or two of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an exciting new beginning for this established brand. \u201cThe lead times are phenomenal on whisky, we\u2019re planning 40 years ahead,\u201d Egan tells me. On launch day at the distillery itself, the excitement \u2013 and relief \u2013 is palpable. Thomas sums up everything that the new distillery and whiskeys represent: \u201cWe can carry on the traditions of the past, but we can set it up for the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Master of Malt tastes Bushmills 25 Year Old<\/b><\/h3>\n

Nose:<\/b> Warming and decadent, with almost-overdone caramelised nuts, honeycomb, and an unmistakable note of dark gingerbread. Then the juicy fruit comes in, with syrupy cherries and plum skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Palate:<\/b> The nuts are dry and toasted now, with bittersweet dark chocolate tempered by sweeter notes of candied ginger, treacle, and blackberry jam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finish:<\/b> Old oak and dark tobacco linger while that gingerbread returns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Master of Malt tastes Bushmills 30 Year Old<\/b><\/h5>\n

Nose: <\/b>Fruity and buttery, with decadent pain au raisin leading into prunes, thick molasses, and something like Turkish delight. A spicy, oaky backbone supports it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Palate: <\/b>The PX influence comes in waves with bundles of dried fruit sweetness, with orange curd, hazelnut frangipane, and a smidge of apricot yogurt too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finish:<\/b> Cherries in syrup and black pepper stay on and on\u2026 and on.<\/span><\/p>\n
