Tasting Notes
Bushmills Causeway Collection 2011 Sauternes Cask Finish is a remarkable whisky that invites you on a delightful journey of flavors. Crafted with utmost care by master blender Alex Thomas, this expression was initially aged in a blend of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, imparting a rich and complex character. But the real magic unfolds when it spent two years in barrels that previously held the sweet nectar of Sauternes, the renowned Bordeaux wine. This unique finishing process infuses the whisky with alluring notes of juicy pineapple, ripe peaches, and luscious honey, seamlessly intertwining with the classic Bushmills profile. Upon nosing, you'll be greeted by a captivating bouquet of stone fruits, peaches, pineapple, and a tempting combination of honey, toffee, and vanilla. The palate unveils layers of deliciousness, with stone fruits and dried fruits mingling harmoniously with caramel and malty biscuit notes, while a fiery peppery kick adds an exciting dimension. The finish is long and sweet, allowing the flavors of stone fruits and honey to linger delightfully, leaving you craving for another sip of this exceptional whisky.
