Product

Bushmills 1608 is designed to be the smoothest whiskey in the Bushmills range whilst retaining the brand’s trademark fullness of flavor.

Bushmills 1608 is designed to be an award winning liquid, distinctly smoother than key competitors (Jameson 12YO & 18YO in particular).

Liquid formulation

• Blended Irish Whiskey with no age statement
• High malt content (90%)
• Distilled with crystal malt for a unique smoothness
• Crafted by master Bushmills distillers

Crystal Malt is so named because of the crystallised appearance which the barleycorns take when gently toasted before the distilling process. Crystal malt lends a sweet, toffee-like smoothness to the whisky… ideal to toast a 400th Anniversary.
