Bushmills adds to Private Reserve series
In the second wave of releases in Bushmills’ limited Private Reserve series, each of the four new whiskeys showcases a distinct triple cask maturation.
Each of the new releases in the Private Reserve series were aged in a combination of Sherry and Bourbon casks before entering a different third cask. The two 10-year-old single malts were finished in Amarone and Mosctatel casks, respectively, while the two 12-year-old single malts were finished in Bordeaux and Tequila casks, respectively.
The whiskeys were overseen by Bushmills master blender Alex Thomas, and boast a vintage representing the year of distillation. All whiskeys are non-chill filtered and feature higher ABVs than the core Bushmills range.
Bushmills Private Reserve 10-year-old: Amarone Cask, 2014 vintage is bottled at 47.3% ABV. It shows notes of rich dark fruits, cinnamon, and vanilla on the nose, with ripe cherry, blackberry, plum and chocolate on the palate. It is priced at US$60.
The Private Reserve 10-year-old: Moscatel Cask, 2013 vintage is bottled at 48.5% ABV. On the nose, it shows floral aromas alongside caramelised sugar and orange blossom. The palate delivers jam, ripe mandarin orange, and apricots. It is priced at US$60.
Bushmills Private Release 12-year-old: Bordeaux Cask, 2012 vintage is bottled at 47% ABV. The nose brings ripe plums, wild berries, and warm vanilla while the palate offers raspberry, black cherry, apple, honey and ginger. It is priced at US$75.
