Bushmills 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review
This 12-year-old expression joined the permanent Bushmills lineup in early 2022. A single malt whiskey, it spends at least 11 years aging in sherry and bourbon casks before being finished in Marsala barrels. Fortified and sweet wine notes run throughout its profile, adding layers to its sweet and earthy malt core. While not a full-on sherry bomb, it promises to impress those who like noticeable nuts and dried fruit notes in their single malts.
