Description

Bushmills 10 Year Single Malt is the entry point into the Bushmills single malt range — 100% malted barley, triple distilled at the world’s oldest licensed distillery, and aged a minimum of 10 years in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and sherry casks to produce the sweet citrus, mocha, vanilla, and delicate floral character that has made it one of the world’s most recognized single malt Irish whiskeys.

The bourbon barrel contribution provides the vanilla and caramel character; the sherry cask adds the dried fruit, mocha, and depth. The combination — and the triple distillation that starts the process — produces a silky, medium-bodied single malt with a distinctive heather and lilac florality that is uniquely characteristic of the Bushmills 10 Year style. Aged 10 years — the legal minimum for the Bushmills 10 label. Browse all Bushmills at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bushmills 10 Year the same as Scotch single malt?

Same raw material (malted barley) and aging category (single malt), but produced in Northern Ireland under Irish whiskey regulations and triple distilled. The triple distillation produces a lighter, smoother character than most double-distilled Scotch single malts at the same age, and the bourbon and sherry cask combination produces a different flavor profile from typical Scotch aging.
