The 16 year old Bushmills builds on the soft, smoothness of the 10 year old and adds some very nice fruity characters. It is a marriage of single malts matured for at least 16 years in hand
- selected Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels, then finished in port pipes for up to a year. This triple casking transforms the colour to a beautiful ruby red and adds layers of juicy sun
- ripened dark fruit and berries, complex almond nuttiness and a treacly vanilla spice.

The port wood adds some delicious flavours of red fruits, some sweetness and hints of candy and chocolate. Like all Bushmills whiskeys it is very smooth but this one has a sweeter, fruitier edge than them all.
