Bushmills Irish Whisky Steamship collection Port Cask Reserve Limited Release 0.7L 40% World's oldest distillery The history of the Bushmills distillery goes back to the 17th century. At that time, King James I granted the landowner and governor of County Antrim in Ireland a license to distill. A good two centuries later, the Old Bushmills distillery was officially registered by Hugh Anderson. Pot style became a registered trademark and is still a trademark today. In 1885, the distillery was surprised by a major fire and everything burned down. But since the people were all closely connected, they pulled together and the Bushmills distillery was quickly rebuilt. After this disaster, the company was stronger than ever and this was reflected in the whisky too, as in the years preceding the 1880s to the early 1900s, the company won many international prizes and explored new markets by sea. A good 10 years before the repeal of Prohibition in 1930, Samuel Wilson bought the distillery with the firm belief that one day he would hit the jackpot - and he was right! After a brief shutdown and bombing raids during the war, production resumed in the 1950s and took off better than ever, with exports to America in particular driving business forward. Anniversary The Bushmills Irish Whisky Steamchip collection was produced to mark the anniversary of the SS Bushmills steamship. It set out on its maiden voyage to trade whisky in 1890. From Bushmills the journey continued to America, where they stopped in Philadelphia and New York before travelling on to Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai. They took a variety of barrels full of spirits with them, which they used to their advantage and stored the whisky in different ways. The Port Cask Reserve Limited Release is a continuation of the existing Steamship collection, which already includes Sherry Reserve and Bourbon Reserve. Ruby port barrels were used for the Port Cask for the second Steamship Edition. The taste At first it is a little milder than expected, but then you are surprised by notes of roasted oak, spices and a pleasant aftertaste of ripe plums, cherries and almonds. The aftertaste is long, slightly sweet and perfectly round.
