2008 Bushmills Causeway Collection Jupille Cask Finish Cask Strength Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Inspired by the The Giant’s Causeway, a few short miles from the Bushmills Distillery, 'The Causeway Collection' seeks to elevate Bushmills' releases through ‘Rare Cask-finishes' and ‘Uncommon or unprecedented casks'. The 2008 Jupille Casks is a case in point - a special edition that was distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2021 exclusively for the French retailer, Les Comptoir Irlandais, aged in Jupile Casks, a very obscure French oak from the 5,000ha Jupille Forest near the Loire Valley, which is tiny when compared to to the half million hectares dedicated to the more common Limousin oak. The wood is dense with a tight grain. Its profile is said to impart pink rose and vanilla. Pair that with the honey, melon and pear of the Bushmills malt and you have a melody of flavour that is sure to please. Non-chill filtered, bottled at cask strength 55.1% Alc./Vol. Very limited stocks.
