Bushmills Causeway Collection 1995 Marsala Cask

Following the launch of The Causeway Collection to worldwide acclaim last year, Bushmills Irish Whiskey is set to make waves again with its new series of exclusive and elusive Causeway Collection releases for 2021.

Limited edition rare cask finished and cask strength Irish single malts.

The 1995 Marsala Cask is a limited edition rare cask finished, cask strength (57.8% ABV) and non chill-filtered Irish single malt.

After maturing for over 10 years in oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, this exceptional whiskey was finished in rare Marsala casks sourced from the island of Sicily. Having been soaked deeply into the oak grain, this dark sweet Italian wine imparts succulent spiced fruit notes and a brown sugar sweetness, followed by further maturation in Marsala casks for 15 years.

The extra time taken to finish this whiskey gives it a rich dried fruit character and sherry complexity. Black coffee follows with a warming ginger finish.
