Bushmills 16 Year Old

An award-winning 16 year old Irish single malt from Bushmills based in Northern Ireland. Aged in three different cask types: bourbon, Port and sherry maturation imparts notes of fruit, nuts and spices - a great example of the influence of different cask maturation. The brand has managed to retain its small batch philosophy for over 400 years, which is wonderful.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose A classic Irish nose of honey, yoghurt and tinned stone fruit, this also has a lovely cassia bark character which develops in the glass.

Palate Spiced and rich with juicy summer fruits, Christmas spices, pine oil, manuka honey and peaches in syrup.

Finish Thick and syrupy with notes of red berries and Golden Syrup.

Reviews for Bushmills 16 Year Old
Unbelievable - stands above the rest
Better than every Whisky I've tried. Amongst all bottles this stands out.

Beautifully aromatic with toffee and fruit.
Gentle to the palate, honey and peach with unmistakable fragrant bark. The description says "cassia bark" - who knows what that is, but think of a cross section of a thick rosemary branch. Sweet, enriched, woody.

It swallows so smooth. A taste that I can't pin, but I was excited for every sip.

The biggest downside is that this isn't my daily drinker. Buy it❤️

Incredible whiskey
Had this whiskey with a friend one night and it was incredible. The flavour and aroma profiles was unbelievable. There isn’t any other whiskies in the world I can see compete with this one. However one small change would be nice, it would be nice to see Bushmills up it from 40% to 46%vol. Maybe they are planning it. Well worth the buy in my opinion.

It's good but could be exceptional
This is a tough one.
I really like the taste of this whiskey, in terms of flavour profile I really love it. And the finish is so good, marzipan sticky nuttiness coats your mouth.
But it shouldn't be 40% at this price point and it just leaves you wanting that extra oomph that would just take it to the next level.
So unless I see it on a good deal I couldn't replace it at this price

Not worth the money.
It was not worth waiting 16 years for this. Allegedly it has been in 3 different casks, but that's not apparent. It's smooth to the point of superficial, with little to recommend it. Wasted £70+ on this.

Absolutely beautiful
Gorgeous. Nutty, fully bodied, smooth, and flavourful. This was the cheapest of 5 exclusive Whiskies I tried and by far and away the nicest. Very pleasantly surprised, can't wait to buy a bottle.

second impressions great
i recently bought a bottle of this, and my first impressions were it's a little on the thin side, and nothing in there that made me feel it was that great in comparison to other sherry cask malts at this price point, but i'm now glad i didnt post a review then, as IMHO it has improved over the last month or so, now it's had chance to get a little air to it. I believe it could do with a few more points on the abv. maybe 43%-46% would be good, however i'm starting to get the fruity notes a little better and really enjoying it.

Delicious
I have not had a glass of this in a long, long time but it is one of my all time favourites. I used to buy it in Duty Free when it was available. An outstanding whiskey, but not easy to find.

Wonderful. Worth every penny.
Love it so much that I bought a bottle for my son in law's Christmas Present. My New Years Resolution is that my first bottle of Whiskey I buy in 2021 will be Bushmills 16year old.
