Bushmills 1990 Of. Distiller's Reserve Ex Bourbon Cask n°4649 LMDW
The wine
A single cask Bushmills 1990 (#4649) distilled in 1990 and bottled at cask strength after maturation in an ex-bourbon cask selected by Master Distiller David Quinn for La Maison du Whisky. The latter was also given a Bushmills 1985 single sherry cask and a 1986 bourbon cask.
About the Producer Bushmills
Ireland, County Antrim. Distillery operational. Owner: Tequila Cuervo La Rojeña
Remaining until 2005 in the fold of the French company Pernod Ricard, which at the time had a monopoly on Irish whiskeys, Bushmills developed near to its southern counterpart Midleton and enjoyed a solid reputation among fans of Irish whiskey. A master of triple distillation, awarding it an inimitably fruity character, and carefully orchestrated maturation, in the late 1990s the distillery released a number of magnificent cask strength, single cask vintages (1988 Rum Barrel, 1991 Sherry Cask, 1990 Bourbon Barrel). The arrival of the new millennium led to the creation of a series of 1975 vintages entitled Millennium Malt. While its two successive owners, Diageo (2005-2014) and Cuervo (2014-present) have continued these bottlings, there have sadly been few innovative developments over recent years.
