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

Description

Looking for an Irish whiskey that perfectly balances tradition with innovative sherry cask finishing?

The Bushmills Black Bush 80/20 PX Sherry Cask Reserve represents a bold evolution from Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery. This 2022 release showcases Pedro Ximénez sherry cask maturation instead of traditional Oloroso, creating deeper sweetness and complexity. The 80/20 blend ratio maximizes single malt character while maintaining smoothness. For comparison, explore our Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak or Bushmills Steamship Collection Sherry Cask Reserve for different sherry expressions.
