The Steamship Story and Sherry Casks
The Steamship Collection was introduced in 2016 for travel retail, commemorating the 125th anniversary of the SS Bushmills steamship's maiden voyage. Sherry Cask Reserve was its first release, a story reflected in the vessel illustration and anniversary wording on the photographed bottle.
Shinanoya's Japanese product information, attributed to manufacturer materials, describes Spanish oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry before receiving Bushmills' triple-distilled malt spirit. This is a sherry-cask maturation expression. No numerical age statement is given for this bottle.
