Bushmills Sherry - Steamship

Bushmills Distillery, located in picturesque County Antrim in Northern Ireland, is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. Its origins date back to 1608, when Sir Thomas Phillips was granted the first license to produce whiskey in the region. For over 400 years, the art of whiskey production has been cultivated here at Bushmills Distillery and passed down from generation to generation.

Jose Cuervo and Bushmills have created the "Steamship Collection", an exclusive range for the duty-free trade, inspired by the SS Bushmills, a 125-year-old steamship. This ship marked the beginning of Bushmills' international trade in 1890, particularly with the USA and Asia. Bushmills Sherry Cask from this series matures exclusively in first fill oloroso sherry butts.

This anniversary whiskey commemorates the 125th anniversary of the historic trading voyage and celebrates the rich tradition of the distillery. (automated translation)
