Bushmills 18 Years Old Expands the World Wood Series with Travel Retail Exclusive

Bushmills 18 Years Old
Triple cask maturation brings depth and elegance to this single malt
Bushmills, Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery, is expanding its celebrated World Wood Series with the launch of a new Bushmills 18 Year Old Single Malt. Debuting exclusively in the Asia Pacific travel retail market at the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition in Singapore (May 12–15, 2025), this release follows the 12, 15, and 21-year-old expressions, and showcases an intricate maturation journey across three distinct types of oak casks.
Design and Presentation
This premium release is presented in sleek, travel-exclusive packaging that enhances its sophisticated profile. With a modern yet classic aesthetic, the bottle reflects Bushmills’ commitment to quality and visual appeal, making it a compelling choice for collectors and gift buyers alike.
Maturation and Flavor Profile
This 18-year-old single malt matures in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts for at least 17 years before being finished in rare Colheita Port casks, resulting in a whisky of remarkable depth and sweetness.
The bourbon casks lend notes of vanilla and almond, while the Oloroso sherry adds rich layers of dried fruit and subtle spices. The final maturation in Colheita Port barrels, crafted from a single vintage and aged over seven years, infuses the whisky with intense fruitiness and a silky crème brûlée sweetness, making this release stand out in the Bushmills portfolio.
Conclusion
The Bushmills 18 Year Old is a shining example of craftsmanship and cask innovation. Its travel-exclusive release and limited availability in Asia Pacific during 2025 set it apart as a collector-worthy whisky, with global availability planned for 2026. This triple-cask aged single malt is not just a new product—it's a statement of Bushmills’ continued evolution in the world of premium whisky.
