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!
Bushmills 10 is a big step up from the very bland Bushmills Original blend, but not more than I would expect from the premium version. While quite pleasant, the 10 year old falls way short of the port finished 16 year old.
Great whiskey. Very fruity. This was my first Irish whiskey.
Unpretentious smooth and palatable. Drink neat and slow to enjoy the subtlety of this excellent whiskey.
not much to say about it noting stands out bland to be better off with the standard bottle or the new honey batch
It is a pleasant whiskey to sit and drink but not complex or even particularly expressive of the Bushmills Character. The Sherry outweighs any Oak. It's not bad but I would stick to Black Bush or even the original. Fair point on the banana nose though...
