Bushmills Causeway 1997 Rum Cask Irish Whiskey

With a reputation now forged in stone, the exclusive and elusive 2022 Causeway Collection releases continue to make waves and push the frontiers of whiskey-making.

The 1997 Rum Cask is a limited-edition rare cask strength and non chill-filtered Irish single malt. It represents the next bold step for Bushmills, one that honours the giants and generations before and the incomparable natural landscape in which its forged.

This unique single malt has spent its entire life in first-fill American oak rum casks. Filled on 14th February 1997, it has spent an incredible 25 years patiently maturing in Warehouse 8. Alex Thomas, Bushmills Master Blender, has expertly watched over this malt as it’s been imbued with luscious exotic summer fruit notes of apricot, mango and pineapple.

The decades have deepened the flavours, adding richer layers of honey, vanilla toffee and warming spice. At cask strength, the waves of tropical flavours are more elevated and distinct, followed by an incomparable smoothness. It’s a sensational whiskey that stands with the best of Irish single malt, a giant in its own right.
