Bushmills Original is a blend of triple-distilled malt whiskey and a light Irish grain whiskey that is aged for at least 5 years in used American bourbon and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. The inviting whiskey is rich with spicy vanilla and oak notes that beg to be mixed in almost any drink you can think of.
It tastes like the sweet grain of the Original, but is distinctly smoother, and there is more sherry flavor, with hints of cinnamon, honey, some pears and nuttiness, and a bit of smoke and wood.
