Notes - The Old Bushmills Distillery was founded in 1608 and is now owned by the major drinks company Diageo. Bushmills whiskey is produced, matured, and bottled on-site at the Bushmills Distillery in Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The Bushmill's 10 year old Single Malt Whiskey is triple distilled and is then matured for at least ten years in specially selected American barrels, which have previously held bourbon whisky, and put away to sleep for a minimum of ten uninterrupted years in vast, dark, aromatic warehouses. The Bourbon barrels impart hints of vanilla to the whiskey. Thus, it develops its full flavour, character and hue, and finally presents as a well-balanced and approachable malt with a distinctive honeyed sweetness and a rich, warming character.
