Bushmills 30 Year Old Single Malt – PX Sherry Finish

The Bushmills 30 Year Old Single Malt – PX Sherry Finish stands as the crowning jewel of the Bushmills Rare Single Malt Collection — a whiskey that defines luxury, patience, and mastery. Aged for three decades and finished for an extraordinary 16 years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks, it represents one of the longest and most meticulous finishing periods in Irish whiskey.

Bottled at 46% ABV, this rare single malt unfolds with an opulent nose of figs, dates, and prunes, enriched by treacle, cinnamon, and roasted nuts. The palate is indulgently rich, where layers of dark chocolate, candied orange, vanilla, and polished oak reveal the full impact of the PX cask. Each sip carries a velvety sweetness balanced by rancio depth, while the finish lingers endlessly with dried fruit, spice, and soft tobacco warmth.

Crafted at the legendary Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, this whiskey reflects over 400 years of distilling tradition. As Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery, established in 1608, Bushmills has long been celebrated for its dedication to triple distillation and single malt purity — qualities that shine through even in the most mature of its releases.

The Bushmills 30 Year Old PX Finish is the result of exceptional cask management and vision, overseen by Master Blender Alex Thomas. The use of PX sherry casks — sourced from select bodegas in Jerez, Spain — infuses the whiskey with immense depth and sensual sweetness, elevating the distillery’s classic honeyed malt into something rare and profound.

This expression is not merely a whiskey; it is a statement of artistry and time. Aged with intention, finished with finesse, and presented with grace, the Bushmills 30 Year Old Single Malt captures the soul of the distillery — timeless, refined, and enduringly Irish.
