Think of it as a Premium Whiskey, Only Smoother... A Lot Smoother. Black Bush Irish Whiskey is a rich, dark, blend from the world's oldest licensed distillery, Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, Ireland. It is comprised almost entirely of single malt whiskey, making it a natural selection for whisk(e)y aficionados. Malt whiskey that becomes Black Bush is aged in selected sherry-seasoned oak casks before being blended with a small portion of a special single grain whiskey to enhance the independent, non-conformist character of the malt. The malt used in our mash derives its clean taste from the deliberate absence of peat used in the malted barley drying process. The combination is then returned to the cask for "marrying." As the whiskeys mellow together, the uniquely rounded bouquet, rich amber hue and distinctive taste of Black Bush is born. It is this perfectly balanced taste that select whiskey and wine aficionados have grown to love.
