<p>Bushmills first release as part of the new Steamship collection, which pays homage to the voyage of the SS Bushmills in the 1890s.&nbsp;</p><p>At the time, the owners of the distillery were the Boyd Brothers, and the steamship sailed as far as Philadelphia and Yokohama, coming back to Ireland with a wealth of different cask varieties, including Bourbon and fortified wine.&nbsp;</p><p>Fittingly, this collection was designed for the travel retail market, though a few bottles have made it on to our shelves.&nbsp;</p><p>This bottling takes Bushmills classic triple distilled whiskey and matures it exclusively in Oloroso Sherry casks, with notes of baking spices, dark chocolate, dried fruit and sweet wine.&nbsp;</p><p>Colum Egan, Bushmills Master Distiller stated that: “For centuries distillers have experimented with different barrels so naturally I was inspired by the adventures of the ship and the opportunities it opened to experiment with various casks from around the world.”&nbsp;</p><p>A truly fantastic new offering from Bushmills, which packs in plenty of flavour.</p>
