“I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and create a really exciting taste experience for every palate. It is unlike any other whisky in our core range. Marrying the bourbon cask with the Malaga wine adds layers of ripe fruit all working together with honey, cinnamon, and milk chocolate. It oozes sunshine and sweetness. Having followed the evolution of this 14-year-old spirit, I knew its exceptional quality was undeniable. I also have a lot of experience with Muscat of Alexandria, the grape variety carefully chosen to produce the Malaga wine we use to season our oak barrels. Wine lovers will know this is one of the oldest grapes in the world and produces incredible flavour profiles.” – Alex Thomas, Master Blender at Bushmills

“I have to say that this is a very well put together whiskey. The nose is magnificent and I could nose this for the whole night, the taste is complex, smooth and nice. The finish is long enough so that you don’t want another sip immediately. I will say that this is a great addition to their core range because it steps in between the 10 and the 16 and fills the price gap very well. I recommend you buy one.” – Z, Whisky Journey
