Granted a license by King James I to distill in 1608, Bushmills is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. In 1784, the Old Bushmills Distillery became official. Hugh Anderson registered the Old Bushmills Distillery and the Pot Still became its registered trade mark. It is still the distillery's mark of genuine distinction today. Located in Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, Bushmills Distillery uses water drawn from Saint Columb's Rill, which is a tributary of the River Bush.
Over 400 years later, whiskey is still being made in Bushmills, thanks to experience & craft passed down from generation to generation.
Now available for the first time in America, the Bushmills 12 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey is a full-bodied, deep amber whiskey that is both complex and approachable. The whiskey is triple-distilled from 100% malted barley and matured for a minimum of 11 years in former sherry casks and bourbon casks, before combining and finishing for 6-9 months in Marsala wine casks, creating a whiskey rich in dried fruit and nut flavors.
40% ABV.

Bushmills has developed considerable experience in marsala cask finishing, so this release marks a distinctive new addition to the spectrum of flavors of their core range. Dark, sweet, juicy aromas of plum, damson jam, clove, peppercorn, citrus, mixed peel, grilled peach, sultana, and walnut oil precede a full-bodied whiskey with flavors of date loaf, sweet fig, chocolate orange, oak tannins, black tea, walnut, sweet wine, and runny honey.
