The bold and peppery rye character harmonizes with the sweetness of molasses, caramel, and hints of tropical fruits. The rum cask finish adds a velvety smoothness that balances the spice, creating a truly unique and indulgent tasting experience.

Bushmills is home to the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery with official records dating back to 1608, when the area was granted its license to distil. Over 400 years later, whiskey is still being made in Bushmills, thanks to experience and craft passed down from generation to generation.The process of cask finishing a whiskey includes removing the spirit from the barrel in which it began its maturation process, and moving it into another barrel for a second stint within something new or different. While this has become an entirely expected common practice, that hasn't always been the case.A cask (interchangeable with the word 'barrel') is simply a large wooden container bound by wood or metal hoops used for maturing spirits and wines. A cask finish is therefore the cask that whisky is put into for maturation, or additional time after its original maturation.
