It produces the Bushmills brand of Irish whiskey. Bushmills 10-year single malt – Combines malt whiskeys aged at least 10 years in American bourbon or Oloroso sherry casks.

Palate: The taste is all warm spices, caramelized sugar and marzipan. It’s quite round, with a touch of tannic astringency and some nice, rich sherry character coming through. Some raw ethanol heat but nothing terrible unpleasant and a medium length finish. \ This is a unique Irish single malt that may be more in line with more traditional expressions, maintaining its lighter character and fruitiness well into its old age.

Final Thoughts: Despite the sharp nose I’m surprised by its mildness. While kind of bland and uninteresting, this feels like a distinct offering from Bushmills Original that will definitely please most bourbon drinkers.

The band NOFX mentions Bushmills in the song "Theme from a NOFX Album" on the 2000 release Pump Up the Valuum.
