Bushmills 29 Year Pedro Ximenez Cask Aged Irish Whiskey

Professional Ratings

• 97 Wine Enthusiast

  The second release in the Rare Casks collectors’ series spent 12 years in bourbon barrels, then another 17 in PX sherry casks. All that barrel time imparts a deep amber hue, and dried fig and toffee aromas. Add plenty of water to take off the tannic edge and open up luxurious deep, dark flavors: dried figs and dates, plum skin, mocha and clove spice. Released in May 2022; limited edition of 500 bottles

  After 17 years in the PX cask, the influence on flavor is irrefutable. Dates, figs, dried vine fruit, mixed peel, and rich sherry notes on the nose followed by black cherry, prune juice, licorice, and baking spices. A surprisingly sweet palate begins with cherry chocolate and raspberry backed by peppercorn and clove, with a syrupy mid-palate of stewed rhubarb and plum and a greater oak presence as the sweetness fades.
