Process & Profile

Bushmills 16 Year Old is a triple-distilled single malt crafted from 100% malted barley, matured for 16 years across three distinct cask types—bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry casks—and finished for around nine months in Ruby Port pipes. This “three-wood” maturation creates a richly layered and harmonious spirit.
