Bushmills, Ireland (23 September 2021): The Causeway Collection is a selection of a rare and distinctive cask finished Irish single malt whiskies from The Old Bushmills Distillery, one of the World’s oldest licensed distilleries. Following the launch of The Causeway Collection last year, Bushmills Irish Whiskey is set to update the collection with a new series of exclusive releases for 2021.
This year’s collection features 12 new releases to be launched across eight markets, namely the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Nordics and the global travel-retail channel.
The 2021 collection includes a number of firsts for Bushmills, a 2011 Sauternes cask finish, a 10yo Cuvée cask finish and a 2008 Jupille cask finish, as well as a 32yo Old Port cask, one of the oldest expressions ever released from The Old Bushmills Distillery.
A stone’s throw from the distillery, the Giant’s Causeway has been a source of inspiration to Bushmills’ master distillers for centuries. Bushmills current master distiller Colum Egan said: “The Causeway Collection celebrates our extremely rare and unique cask finishes, our passion for single malts and honours our rich heritage. It’s a privilege to work with such rare liquid, these special cask-finished whiskies really are our greatest treasures. We were delighted with how the Bushmills Causeway Collection was received globally in 2020, with some even selling out in minutes.”
The Bushmills 2021 Causeway Collection references vary in age from nine to 32 years old, are all non-chill filtered and are priced up to €950 RRP.
