This special edition whiskey was initially introduced in 2008 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Bushmills Distillery. What is unique about this whiskey is that it is a blend of mostly crystal malt with some grain, resulting in a rich, full flavor profile. I tasted this at The Shelbourne Bar (Cork, IRELAND).
