Bushmills Caribbean Rum Cask Finish [700ML]

Description

Looking for an Irish whiskey that brings tropical paradise to your glass?

The Bushmills Caribbean Rum Cask Finish represents a brilliant innovation from Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery, transforming their classic blend with exotic Caribbean rum cask maturation. This tropical variant takes Bushmills’ signature triple-distilled grain whiskey and single malt, finishing the malt portion in fine oak casks that previously held Caribbean rum. Unlike traditional Irish expressions such as the Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition, this creates a unique fusion of Irish craftsmanship with rum-influenced sweetness. For those exploring cask-finished whiskeys, consider the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask for comparison.
