Bushmills 32 Year Old - Forgotten Gems
Bushmills
Tasting Notes
This remarkably aged Irish single malt whiskey from Bushmills boasts an enticing aroma of sweet green apples, old oak, and a hint of waxed jacket mingled with notes of prunes, creamy toffee, strawberry laces, and woody spice. The palate is soft and creamy, offering a delightful medley of sweet summer berries dusted with icing sugar, accompanied by a floral touch of rooibos tea and robust, gently spicy old oak. As it lingers, clove and pepper emerge, harmoniously balanced by a buttery sweetness reminiscent of butterscotch. The finish is robust, with sweet oak, peppercorn and ginger warmth, bitter orange, floral tobacco, subtle smoky tea, and a delightful blend of dried fruit and candied berries. This rare gem, uncovered and bottled by the heroes at Forgotten Gems, spent an impressive 32 years maturing in an ex-Bourbon barrel before being bottled under the Bushmills name, making it an exceptionally scarce find with only 32 bottles produced.
