Bushmills Millennium Malt

This exceptional Bushmills Millennium Malt represents a truly unique piece of Irish whiskey history, distilled in 1975 and specially bottled in the year 2000 to commemorate the new millennium. With 25 years of maturation, this single cask expression from cask number 151 captures a quarter-century of development at Ireland's oldest licensed distillery, which has been producing whiskey at its County Antrim location since 1608. The decision to release this as a millennium bottling reflects both the significance of the moment and the distillery's confidence in this particular cask's exceptional quality after such an extended maturation period. Single cask bottlings from Bushmills of this age and vintage are extraordinarily rare, particularly those with such historical significance as a millennium release. Each bottle from cask 151 represents an unrepeatable moment in time, capturing the unique characteristics imparted by that specific barrel over its 25-year journey. For collectors of Irish whiskey and those interested in vintage spirits, this Millennium Malt offers not only a substantial age statement but also the story of a distillery marking the turn of the century with one of its most precious casks, making it a remarkable addition to any serious collection.
