| Variant Short Description | Bushmills 26-Year-Old is triple-distilled using crystal malt to give intense caramel and creamy chocolate flavours before maturation exclusively in first fill bourbon barrels for 26 years to add extra layers of soft vanilla sweetness. |
|---|
| Variant Long Description | Our Bushmills 26-Year-Old Crystal Malt is a true
innovation in rare Irish single malt. Before they are
casked in oak, which traditionally gives most whiskeys
their key notes, this exquisite single malt gains a
sublime punch of flavour pre-distillation.
Its defining element, crystal malt, is created through
an unusual malting process that crystalises the sugars
within the barley during kilning. This imparts an intense caramel and creamy chocolate flavour to the distillate that remains throughout the decades in oak. |
