BUSHMILLS 2008 MUSCATEL CASK - LIMITED STOCKS
FORGED
The 2008 Muscatel Cask is a limited edition rare cask finished,
cask strength (56.4% ABV) and non chill-filtered Irish single malt.
It represents a bold new step for Bushmills, one that not only
honours the giants and generations before us but also the
incomparable natural landscape in which it’s forged.
FINISHED
After maturing for almost eight years in oloroso sherry butts and
bourbon barrels, Helen Mulholland, our Master Blender, finished this
whiskey in rare muscatel casks. Permeated with wine made from the
aromatic muscat grape, this oak imparts luscious ripe fruit notes and
a deep sweetness. And where others might recask their whiskey for just
six months or so, we’ve added deeper waves of flavour by finishing
it in muscatel casks for an unprecedented four years.
A velvety smooth sweetness gives way to deeper summer fruit notes. Scents
of citrus lead to a finish bursting with sweet raisin. It’s a sensational whiskey
that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right.
