A superb 10 year old Irish single malt whiskey and winner of Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey at the 2007 World Whiskies Awards. Wonderfully fruit-forward, with a good helping of vanilla and warming oaky spices in support.
Cooked banana and tropical fruit.
Guava, cantaloupe melon, over-ripe white peach, vanilla and peels.
Floral, spicy finish.
Add a drop of water and it tastes just like nectarine chunks in low fat yoghurt!
I have never been a fan off Irish or Bourbon whiskey. I was therefor taken aback when at a friend's dinner party I was presented with a Bushmills Malt. Drinking it out of politeness, I was surprised at the wonderful mixture of quite lovely tastes. The initial fruiteness left an aftertaste which was quite satisfying, the added bonus being the smoothness of the malt. I cannot wait to purchase a bottle.
This is an absolut ace of a whiskey. You can get lost in the nose, which is wonderfully complex, for hours. It's smooth but offers many layers of flavor. Perfect for sipping on all day long. Bushmills 10 has opened up the world of irish whiskey to me, and I will gladly explore it further. Tomas
Definitely got underripe bananas on the nose. Taste of spicy bread. Non specific honeyed finish. Didn't expect to like it, but I do
5 Star.
After sampling most popular Irish blends, I've got to say... wow! This is an entirely different category (take note, Speyside lovers)! Rich, spicy, and clean. Totally looking forward to trying pure pot still and single grain Irish whiskey. Highland Park can wait ;)
