From the Hills of Antrim to the Kingdom of Kerry
L
Last Tuesday evening, Bushmills in Antrim (Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery dating back to 1608) paid a visit to the Kingdom. At the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder, Global Brand Ambassador Séamus Lowry conducted a Bushmills 10-year-old deconstruction as well as a tasting of some of their highly sought after premium expressions. The evening commenced with a welcome tipple of their latest release, Bushmills Red Bush, which would whet the appetite for what would follow.
Whiskey novices and enthusiasts were then introduced to Bushmills New Make Spirit at a jaw-dropping 83.4% which was then followed by a Bushmills 10-year-old deconstruction - from a 5-year-old bourbon whiskey to a 10-year-old sherry, this undoubtedly illustrated the broad range of flavour and complexity in the 10-year-old single malt. It was no surprise that the 16-year-old and 21-year-old Bushmills were the highlights of the evening, with both expressions becoming exceedingly rare and known for their distinct fruity character.
Next on the bar's calendar is a whiskey barrel-aged beer tasting with Joe Kearns from White Hag Brewing and our very own Alan O’Donovan on Thursday, March 22 at 7.30pm. Tickets are €10 and are available at Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder.
