26 Year Old Crystal Malt

Our Bushmills 26 Year Old Crystal Malt is a true innovation in rare Irish single malt. Before they are casked in oak, which traditionally gives most whiskeys their key notes, this exquisite single malt gains a sublime punch of flavour pre-distillation. Its defining element, crystal malt, is created through an unusual malting process that crystalises the sugars within the barley during kilning. This imparts an intense caramel and creamy chocolate flavour to the distillate that remains throughout the decades in oak. TASTING NOTES Colour: Golden honey Nose: Sweet floral honeyed apples followed by mellow wood and warm caramel. Taste: Creamy butterscotch envelops the mouth developing into layers of crème brûlée, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, spiced pear and warm vanilla. Finish: A comforting warm, smooth finish with the return of gentle oak, honeyed apples and pears lingering on the tongue. Volume: 700ml Abv: 46% non chill-filtered Dispatched: 2-3 days
