BUSHMILLS STEAMSHIP PORT CASK

The Steamship Collection port cask reserve is an Irish single malt that has been fully matured in ruby port pipes from the quintas of Portugal’s Douro Valley where for generations rich and delicious port wine has been made from the intensely flavoured grapes that grow in its slate soil.

Over many years new flavours are drawn from the casks. The result is a precisely judged marriage of our famously rich, complex and smooth single malt and subtle new notes of damson, black coffee and almonds.
