2012 Bushmills 'The Causeway Collection' Burgundy Cask Single Cask Irish Whiskey 700ml

Distilled in 2012, the spirit was first laid down in Bushmillsââ‚?trademark Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks before a luxurious three-and-a-half-year maturation in Burgundy red wine casks. Then bottled this year, non-chill filtered and non-coloured, natural cask strength, 51.8% ABV.

And as for the experience, heavenly…starting with sweet, spiced stewed fruits with vanilla custard on the nose, leading into a deep, velvety palate with indulgent dark cherries, strawberry jam and sticky butterscotch, and a long, rich, juicy finish of vanilla truffle opening into creamy Neapolitan ice-cream, rocky road and a hint of almond.
