Bushmills Black Bush 80/20 PX Sherry Cask Reserve [1000ML]

Description

Looking for an Irish whiskey that delivers exceptional complexity without the premium single malt price tag?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I can confidently say the Bushmills Black Bush 80/20 PX Sherry Cask Reserve represents outstanding value in the Premium whisky category. This expression masterfully blends 80% malt whiskey with 20% grain whiskey, finished in PX (Pedro Ximénez) sherry casks for added depth and sweetness. While the Bushmills 15 Years Single Malt offers extended maturation, this Black Bush Reserve delivers comparable richness at RM 180, making it exceptional value compared to the Bushmills 14 Years expression.

• Distillery: Bushmills – Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery, established 1608

• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for sipping neat or with ice

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly excels with Malaysian spice-forward cuisine, where the sherry cask sweetness beautifully counters heat. After evaluating hundreds of Irish whiskeys, the PX influence here provides remarkable depth typically found in expressions twice this price.
