Na zalogi

<p>Bushmills Caribbean Rum Cask Finish is a blended Irish whiskey crafted at the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, Northern Ireland — one of the country's oldest licensed whiskey producers with centuries of distilling heritage behind it.</p><p>The blend brings together single malt and Irish grain whiskies, first matured separately in ex-bourbon casks of American white oak and in Oloroso sherry casks. This initial ageing builds the whiskey's core character, laying down notes of vanilla, malt and fruit before the next stage of maturation begins.</p><p>What sets this bottling apart is its finishing period in casks that previously held Caribbean rum for at least seven years. This extra step adds a smoother texture and layers of tropical, sweet complexity on top of the classic Bushmills profile, resulting in a whiskey that bridges Irish tradition with Caribbean warmth.</p><p>Bottled at 40% ABV in a 0.7l bottle, this is a versatile whiskey suited to sipping neat, over ice, or as the backbone of a whiskey cocktail.</p><p><strong>Tasting Note</strong></p><p>In the glass, this whiskey shows a warm gold hue with amber glints. The nose brings out Demerara sugar, baked banana and a buttery, popcorn-like note. On the palate it's smooth and floral, with caramelised banana, vanilla and a gentle tropical sweetness. The finish is intense yet mellow, carrying malt, herbal notes and a whisper of tobacco. It's a fine choice served neat or on the rocks, and pairs nicely with desserts like banana bread, caramelised apple cake or dark chocolate — it also shines in cocktails such as an Irish Old Fashioned or a whiskey highball.</p>
