Interesting fact… Bushmills 10 Year Old whiskey spells its name whiskey as it originates in Ireland. Had it been produced in Scotland its name would be Bushmills 10 Year Old whisky, instead of whiskey.
Nose: Banana skins.Palate: Medium, very fruity, chocolate pudding.Finish: Floral, tannic.Overall: Add a drop of water and it tastes just like nectarine chunks in low fat yoghurt!
The Master of Malt
No headaches
Not a bad whisky at all, considering that my colleague Heiko and I drank a whole bottle (he 25%, me the rest) to celebrate an event going well. The next day, however, neither of us had a headache. I'm sure that counts for something? Anyway, the sherry this time around makes a much better impression that, say, two years back. Quite fruity and full. A touch of port in the finish. Very subtle nose, in my opinion. Very good dram for - no offense - beginners. Mark - whivie.be
Brilliant Irish Whiskey
Bought a 1l bottle in Frankfurt Airport two years ago. Still have about half of it. Nose: Very smooth and delicate but with a richness behind it. Vanilla, almond and hints of fruit. Palate: Medium. Very rounded, vanilla again, malt, still fruity. Finish: Malth and vanilla. Warming. A lovely Irish whiskey with a little more punch than your normal Bushmill, Jameson etc. You can feel the 10 year maturation. But check out the 16 y/o Bushmills as well!
Blago Review
Had my first bottle a year ago. I must agree bout the banana skin nose, very inviting indeed. From then on it goes down medium bodied and a little bit more burny in the finnish than I would like to. If you look for something to drink it neat better try Blackbush. This one loves a drop of water. More sophisticated than your regular whiskies, still reasonably priced to call it occasionally.
