Hailing from County Antrim in Northern Ireland, Bushmills Distillery has been producing whiskey at the same site since 1608, making it one of the oldest working distilleries in the world. The Original expression is crafted using a blend of grain and single malt whiskeys, triple-distilled in copper pot stills and matured in bourbon and sherry casks to develop its signature smooth profile.

Nose: Light honeyed malt opens the experience, followed by soft vanilla, a hint of toasted oak, and delicate floral notes that speak to the whiskey’s gentle distillation character.

Palate: A smooth, medium-light body carries flavours of creamy vanilla, caramel sweetness, mild spice, and biscuity malt, with the triple distillation delivering a clean, approachable texture that defines the Irish whiskey style.

Finish: Medium length with lingering vanilla sweetness, a touch of oak warmth, and a gentle fade that invites another sip without overwhelming the palate.

Serve neat to appreciate the distillery character, add a splash of water to open up the sweeter notes, or use as a versatile base for classic Irish whiskey cocktails like the Irish Coffee or Whiskey Ginger.

This miniature format makes Bushmills Original ideal for travellers, gift samplers, or those wanting to explore Irish whiskey without committing to a full bottle.
