Bushmills 2012 Pomerol Cask Causeway Collection Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70cl, 54.2% ABV

The Bushmills 2012 Pomerol Cask (The Causeway Collection) is a bold, limited-edition Irish single malt that stands out for its extensive red wine cask maturation. After spending over six years aging in a combination of Oloroso sherry butts and ex-bourbon barrels, this triple-distilled whiskey underwent a lengthy four-year second maturation in rare Pomerol wine casks sourced from Bordeaux’s famed Merlot-dominant appellation. Bottled in 2022 at a robust cask strength of 54.2% ABV and non-chill-filtered, the result is a deeply dramatic, wine-forward dram. The nose hits with a decadent medley of rich red berries, honey, and maple syrup, while the palate delivers a heavy, jammy punch of stewed strawberries, raspberry coulis, and tart green apple, all balanced by a sharp kick of Jamaican ginger ale, anise, and dry, warming oak tannins.
