Bushmills 26 Year Crystal Malt Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Bushmills 26 Year Crystal Malt is an exceptionally rare single malt, triple-distilled from specially toasted crystal malt and matured for 26 years exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels from the Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky.
Crystal malt — barley toasted to transform its sugars into a crystalline form — sits at the heart of this whiskey, contributing intense caramel and creamy chocolate complexity. After 26 years in first-fill bourbon barrels at the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery in County Antrim, the result is a deeply layered single malt bottled at 92 proof.
Tasting Notes
