The Master Blender

Bushmills master blender, Alex Thomas, holds responsibility for nurturing Bushmills Irish Whiskey’s range of premium blends and Irish single malts. As Master Blender, she is the caretaker of Bushmills’ whiskeys from the selection and management of the casks, through to their evolution during maturation. Alex takes inspiration from the North Coast of Ireland and is passionate about creating a premium portfolio of whiskeys that everyone can enjoy. Alex uses the wisdom and experience she has inherited from those who have gone before, while forging her own path and helping lead the way to Irish whiskey's new era.

Bushmills Finest Bushmills selects only the finest casks to mature the range of single malt whiskey. The Master Blender uses a range of casks to achieve the unique Bushmills flavour profile, including ex-bourbon, sherry and port casks.

• An ex-bourbon cask, the colour will be light, sweet and vanilla-like to taste.

• An ex-sherry butt, the colour will be much darker, and have a richer, dried fruit, nutty flavour profile.
