Bushmills #3 Char Bourbon Cask is a standout release from The Steamship Collection — a premium, travel-inspired range from the legendary Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. As the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, granted its licence back in 1608, Bushmills brings over four centuries of craft to every bottle.
This expression is a triple-distilled Irish single malt matured in hand-selected ex-bourbon barrels with a deep “#3 char” — a heavier level of barrel charring that draws out richer, sweeter and more intense flavours from the oak. The result is a beautifully smooth yet full-bodied whiskey layered with vanilla, honey and toasted spice.
