Bushmills 14 Year Old Single Malt Causeway Collection
Bushmills · Old Bushmills Distillery
The Causeway Collection represents Bushmills' more ambitious, limited offerings, and this 14-year-old showcases what extended maturation in Antrim's cool climate can achieve. It's a serious Irish whiskey that holds its own alongside any single malt tradition.
Nose
Deep dried fruit — figs and raisins — alongside a warm clove spice and toasted almond. Behind it, a layer of cocoa and subtle vanilla oak. There's complexity here that unfolds slowly.
Palate
Full-bodied for an Irish whiskey. Rich malt forms the foundation, layered with honey, dried apricot, and a distinctive earthy note that grounds the sweetness. Clove and cocoa develop through the mid-palate with excellent integration.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering dried fruit and a gentle woody spice that fades into clean malt.

Bushmills Original Irish Whiskey
Bushmills
Bushmills Original is the quietly dependable wellspring behind countless Irish whiskey cocktails — a hidden source that many drink without ever pausing to consider. Its triple-distilled smoothness and honest simplicity make it a foundation bottle that punches above its modest price point.
Limavady Single Barrel Irish Whiskey
Limavady
Limavady revives a name from Irish whiskey's deep past — the town where the Gage family distilled for centuries before prohibition-era decline. Matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, each single barrel release carries its own personality, but the throughline is a malt-forward whiskey that favors elegance over weight. A strong argument for Northern Irish whiskey's modern renaissance.
Bushmills Red Bush Irish Whiskey
Bushmills
Red Bush is Bushmills' deliberate lean into bourbon barrel maturation, and it works as a gateway whiskey for those crossing over from American spirits. It won't challenge seasoned Irish whiskey drinkers, but it delivers honest craft at a price that makes everyday drinking guilt-free. A solid foundation pour.
Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt Sherry Cask Reserve
Bushmills
A graceful, daybreak-soft single malt that rewards patient sipping. Not flashy, but deeply composed — the kind of whiskey that reveals itself slowly as the light changes.
Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
The Dubliner
This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.
Kinahan Small Batch Irish Whiskey
Kinahan's
Kinahan's Small Batch is an Irish whiskey that earns its place through careful blending and a thoughtful non-chill-filtered approach at a robust 46% ABV. It delivers well above its modest price point, offering the kind of textured, layered experience that rewards attention without demanding it. A quietly confident pour that fits perfectly into the 'earned through craft' ethos.
Pearse Cooper's Select Irish Whiskey
Pearse
Pearse Cooper's Select is an approachable yet characterful blend that showcases Dublin distilling heritage at a welcoming price point. Its grain-forward creaminess and layered texture make it an ideal compass for exploring Irish whiskey's quieter sophistications. A daily-pour bottle that punches above its weight.
