Bushmills – Causeway Collection 2020 Port Cask Finish 70cl Bottle

The 2000 Port Cask is a limited edition rare, cask strength (54.1% ABV) and non chill-filtered Irish single malt. It represents the next bold step for Bushmills, one that honours the giants and generations before us and the incomparable natural landscape in which its forged. This unparalleled single malt has spent its entire life in rare first-fill ruby port casks. After an incredible 20 years patiently maturing in these wine casks from northern Portugal, our malt is imbued with big, bold and luscious red fruit flavours. The years have ripened the fresher strawberry and raspberry notes, giving them a deeper, richer and sweeter fruit jam quality. The fortified port wine cask has added waves of sweet, caramelised toffee notes, balanced by a hint of sweet chilli. The result is a unique red gold whiskey with sensational depth, bursting with red fruit notes, caramelised toffee and a warming allspice finish. Its a sensational whiskey that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right. Colour: Red gold. Nose: Luscious red fruits, the perfume of ripe raspberry and plum with a hint of grapefruit. Taste: Bold ripe red fruit flavours. Strawberries intermingle with caramelised toffee and the growing warmth of sweet chilli and allspice. Finish: Sweet spiciness that lingers long on the palate.
