This latest release which was distilled in 1994, is comprised of rare and unique cask finished Irish single malt whiskeys from The Old Bushmills Distillery – the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, and is said to be a unique straw gold whiskey, with key notes of crème brûlée, cinnamon spice & tropical fruits.

Commenting on the news, Colum Egan, Bushmills Master Distiller, said: “This 27-Year-Old Bourbon Cask is a really special single malt. Maturing it for 21 years in first-fill bourbon barrels gives our single malt beautifully intense vanilla notes that evolve into creamy crème brûlée over time, complemented by gentle waves of cinnamon spice. It’s truly a sensational whiskey that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right.”

Colum, went onto say: “The Causeway Collection celebrates our extremely rare and unique cask finishes, our passion for single malts and honours our rich heritage. It’s a privilege to work with such rare liquid, these special cask-finished whiskeys really are our greatest treasures.”
