Smooth, complex and robust. Slane Irish Whiskey marries toasted grain and malt whiskeys with the distinctive flavors of each cask. With notes of oak and spice, each sip represents is a journey through the wild countryside and the chance to uncover the subtle layers of the whiskey's complex character.
For those looking for the smoothest of whiskeys, Bushmills Red Bush is a blend of malt and fine grain whiskeys that is as versatile as it is smooth. Triple-distilled and aged for a minimum of 3 years, this easy drinking whiskey is excellent straight up or in mixed serves. Bushmills Red Bush is an impeccably balanced Irish whiskey matured to perfection in American white oak bourbon casks.
To the nose, Red Bush has a light floral fragrance, peppered with vanilla wood and honey notes. Perfect balance of sweet, nutty and vanilla notes with hints of bourbon and exceptional smoothness.

Think a bourbon heart can't hold a single malt soul? Our 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve uniquely delivers the smooth sophistication of Scotland with the sweet kick of Kentucky.
Our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, patiently waits 14 years as the whisky matures in ex-bourbon American Oak casks. He then finishes the whisky in deep charred new American Oak barrels supplied by The Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky.
The result is a rich, sweet and vibrant single malt that delivers beautifully complex flavours of woody spices combined with ripe summer fruit. It's an expression in a class all its own. One that will inspire Scotch and bourbon lovers alike, to Rethink Whisky.

Port Charlotte's long-awaited 10 year old, rich and smoky whisky made by the independently minded folks at Bruichladdich distillery on Islay. PC, as it's known to its friends, is heavily peated to 40ppm, putting it up with Islay's other heavy hitters. The resulting whisky is big and peaty with a maritime tang – the Bruichladdich team would claim that it's because their warehouses are so close to the sea, we're still undecided. In the end, the most important thing is the taste: it's rather good.
Bottled at 43% vol, the BenRiach 10 Years Old is Classic Speyside in character. The cask formula focuses on ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks – exactly the types of wood we favour at BenRiach. This fresh, lively, fruit-laden single malt captures WARM OAK SPICES, GREEN APPLE, DRIED APRICOTS, PEACH and BANANA with subtle touches of ANISEED, LEMON ZESTand BARLEY.
