The County Antrim based Bushmills Distillery, has today announced
the launch of latest expression from its Prestige Collection.
Bushmills 26 Year Old Crystal Malt (46% ABV) is a single
malt Irish whiskey distilled in 1997, which was produced using crystal malted
barley. Using an unusual and special malting process, the sugars within the
grain were crystallised, imparting intense caramel and creamy chocolate
flavours.

Drawing on over 400 years of world-class expertise and heritage, the Bushmills Prestige Collection which also includes 25, 30 and 31 Year Old single malts, is said to set a new benchmark for innovation and luxury in the global single malt category.
Bushmills 26 Year Old Crystal Malt, delivers notes of honeyed
apples, mellow wood and warm caramel on the nose. Followed by notes of creamy
butterscotch, crème brûlée, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, spiced pear and warm
vanilla on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Alex Thomas, Master Blender, said:
“I am so honoured to manage and supervise the ageing of all our single malts,
but releasing this special expression—one which I’ve cared for throughout my
entire career here—is truly a dream come true. Our 26 Year Old Crystal Malt
epitomises Bushmills’ commitment to restless progress and our dedication to
crafting exceptional single malts for whiskey lovers worldwide.”
