For the Entertainer –
Túath Irish Whiskey Glasses
Túath is the Old Irish term for people, tribe or nation as in Tuatha Dé Danann (“People of the goddess Danu”, a supernatural race in Irish mythology). The Túath glass was designed with Irish whiskey in mind – crafted with thought, care and time. The conical shape of this glass concentrates the vapours and its slightly wider opening allows the whiskey to express its hidden aromas and flavours. Gift this for a great way to savour a Bushmills together.

Bushmills 14 Year Old Single Malt
Unlike its sherry-inspired siblings, this exquisite new Malaga cask finished expression has a drop of something unmistakably different. Bushmills 14 Year Old starts in first and second-fill bourbon barrels where it’s meticulously matured for a minimum of 14 years. Following this, it’s then exclusively finished for up to 12 months in Muscat of Alexandria white wine Malaga casks – adding a luscious fruit intensity and beautiful smoothness. If you’re after something a bit exotic, this one’s for you.

Bushmills 16 Year Old Single Malt
Bushmills 16 Year Old is a marriage of single malts matured for at least 16 years in hand-selected Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, then finished in port pipes for up to a year. This triple casking transforms the colour to a beautiful ruby red and adds layers of juicy sun-ripened dark fruit and berries, complex almond nuttiness and a treacly vanilla spice. A crowd pleaser with port pipe and sherry cask finishing – need we say more?

For the Philosopher –
Bushmills 21 Year Old Single Malt
The thinker’s whiskey, with two years extra maturation in Madeira casks after 19 years maturing beautifully in bourbon and sherry casks. Bushmills 21 Year Old is a marriage of single malts matured in hand-selected Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, then finished in Madeira casks. This unusually long finishing period allows our single malt to patiently mellow, mature and pick up deeper notes of ripe fruit and dried raisins from the fortified Portuguese wine casks. The 21 Year Old is only crafted in limited numbers, so you know it’s super special.
