The third expression released in a series inspired by the SS Bushmills steamship, the vessel which set out on its maiden voyage to deliver bottles of Bushmills to America in 1890. Bourbon Cask Reserve is the result of a long-standing relationship with master coopers from Louisville, Kentucky, who reserved American white oak, custom-charred bourbon casks to mature this whiskey.
Sweet vanilla, ripe pear and toasted oak lead among prickles of oak spices and crème brûlée.
Orange zest, honey-drenched toast and tinned peaches combine initially before more vanilla and oak spice emerge. A dark chocolate and oak char add a pleasant bitterness underneath.
A slightly drying finish lasts for a good while with a touch more toasted oak.

A very smooth whiskey, with a nice hint of Bourbon, Easy drinking a real winner ?.
Got this as a present.I have drank many whiskies and think this may be the nicest I’ve tasted
If you want, substitute with a widely available 10yo and you are not far from typical pears of Bushmills.
