Irish whiskey behemoth brand, Bushmills, has released a pair of single malt Irish whiskies – a 15-year-old and a 21-year-old – to begin their World Wood Series.
The Bushmills World Wood Series 15-year-old single malt was matured in both ex-bourbon first- and second-fill American oak casks, bottled at 46% alcohol by volume [92 proof] and is said to offer notes of caramel, hazelnut and vanilla.
The Bushmills World Wood Series 21-year-old single malt was matured in both bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts for 18 years, finished in first-fill Marsala wine casks for three years, bottled at 46% alcohol by volume [92 proof] and is said to offer notes of brown sugar, orange and vanilla.
Both Bushmills World Wood Series 15-year-old and 21-year-old Irish whiskies are being made available exclusively in travel retail venues with the 15-year-old at $90 per 700ml bottle and the 21-year-old at $265 per 700ml bottle.
