Bushmills 1997 Rum Cask is a 25-year-old single malt Irish whiskey that matured exclusively in first-fill American oak rum casks since February 1997. This maturation imparts fresh, smooth, and fruity characteristics, with nose notes of cherries, watermelon, and honey-baked figs accompanied by hints of cracked black pepper. The palate features ripe mango, lightly toasted oak, and thick toffee flavors, culminating in a warm, creamy finish with pineapple accents. Bottled at 45.2% ABV, this limited edition is part of the esteemed Causeway Collection.
