About

This 17-year-old single malt from County Antrim (Bushmills) is a refined bottling by Dutch importer Van Wees, known for quality-focused releases at approachable prices. Matured in bourbon barrels, it showcases a smooth, gentle character with understated complexity. The nose reveals fruity and sweet notes—citrus fruits, vanilla, and hints of creamy caramel create an inviting profile. The palate maintains this fruity sweetness with a delicate balance, while the finish turns surprisingly dry, with herbaceous and barley notes emerging alongside subtle oak influence. A well-crafted dram that rewards patient nosing and sipping.
