It is bottled at 40% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBushmills, in County Antrim on Northern Ireland's north coast, traces its licence to distil to 1608 and is one of the oldest working distilleries in the world. Its single malts are triple distilled from 100% malted barley, giving a smooth, fruity spirit, and the three-cask ageing of the 16 Year Old adds remarkable depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBushmills describes juicy fruits, nuts and spice, with a hint of ruby redness from the port. Expect treacle toffee, dried fruits, almond and caramel on the nose, dried figs, toasted nuts, honey and toasty oak on the palate, and a finish of jammy berries, orange marmalade and milk chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a classic gift for lovers of Irish whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBushmills recommends enjoying it neat or with one small ice cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePort pipes are the large, elongated casks of Portugal's Douro Valley, and the wine they once held lends rich red-fruit sweetness and a subtle ruby glow. Irish whiskey must be aged for at least three years on the island of Ireland, and at 16 years this single malt sits among the most mature everyday expressions in the Bushmills range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Treacle toffee, dried fruits, almond and caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried figs, toasted nuts, honey and toasty oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jammy berries, orange marmalade and milk chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bushmills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Irish Whiskey, triple distilled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, finished in port pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e County Antrim, Northern Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat or with one small ice cube.
