Bushmills
Millennium Single Barrel Single Malt
In 1982, the year 200 might have seemed very far away, but with almost
400 years experience making whiskey, we know it was the right time to
start work on our Millennium Single Barrel Single Malt Whiskey. But
tempus fugit
and ipso facto, a rare part of the Bushmills story
now belongs to you. 17 years before being bottled, when your cask
strength pure malt whiskey began life, it flowed from its third and
final still as a colourless spirit, assertively full-flavoured, pungent
on the nose, fiery on the palate. Now, after long years mellowing in a
lightly toasted American white oak barrel, it is a more gentle spirit,
with a subdued golden tone and tempered smell and taste. Bottled pure
and unfiltered from the cask, your Millennium Malt may turn slight
cloudy over time and a faint wispy sediment may appear in the bottle,
which is quite natural and the sign of a rare old single cask malt.
