A special Bushmills for the lucky few: finished in fresh French Banyuls casks for three and a half years and bottled at natural cask strength. In the words of Bushmill's Master Blender: “Banyuls is a French dessert wine with big fruity flavours which really matches the Bushmills spirit. The (Bushmills) Banyuls has a lovely profile, and each time you go back to it you find something different again. It's approachable, it's rounded, it has big flavours, but in a completely rounded way that anybody can enjoy. The finish is comforting with lovely warmth and roundness. It gives you that lovely feeling of a really nice whisky that you just want share with friends. The Banyuls is something really special.” 53.6% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the importers... NOSE: Deep, rich and enticingly fresh and fruity with ripe mandarins, dried apricots, raspberries and strawberry jam, along with sherbet and hint of anise. PALATE: A mouthwateringly juicy explosion of citrus, blackcurrants and baked peaches, with glazed pastries, pecans and walnuts. FINISH: Long and satisfying. Warm lingering spice melds with stewed plums and freshly baked blackberry pie.
