Crafted from crystal malt, a barley is processed to crystallize sugars during kilning, this whiskey gains a depth of flavor before it ever touches oak. The result is a distillate with intense notes, carried through 26 years of maturation in first fill bourbon barrels from Kelvin Cooperage in Kentucky.

Casked on November 20, 1997 and triple distilled, this whiskey is bottled at 92 proof to preserve the flavor profile created. The use of bourbon barrels amplifies the creamy malt profile.

Bushmills 26 Year Old Crystal Malt is available for $1,000.
