Bushmills Causeway 1999 New American Oak Cask 70cl

Description

The Causeway Collection is Bushmills' platform for exceptionally rare and unique single malts. This 1999 vintage was matured entirely in new American oak casks, representing over two decades of patient warehousing on the Antrim coast. New American oak gives a more assertive wood influence than ex-bourbon, adding big hits of intense vanilla, coconut, warm spice and creamy chocolate. For collectors and for anyone who wants to drink something that cannot be remade.

Tasting Note

The virgin oak imparts flavours quickly – adding big hits of intense vanilla, coconut, warm spice and creamy chocolate. The decades have amplified the rich oak notes, adding layers of caramelised fruit and cinnamon, leaving you with a deep, sweet velvety vanilla finish with warm wood spices. It’s a sensational whiskey that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right.
