Product description
The Steamship Collection is a new Bushmills series introduced in 2016 to the Travel Retail chain.
Its inspiration is the maiden voyage of the SS Bushmills steamship to America in the late 19th century, and the ship's return with a cargo of rum, fortified wines and bourbon. The series was heralded by Sherry Cask Reserve, and in November 2016 another proposal, Port Cask Reserve, hit the market, like Sherry Cask bottled without an age statement with an alcohol content of 40%. This time the whisky was aged in port barrels from the Douro Valley. Since the end of 2014, Bushmills Distillery has belonged to Casa Cuervo SA de CV, the producer of the world's most popular tequila, José Cuervo.
