Single Malt

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 retained its small batch philosophy for over 400 years, which is wonderful.
A classic Irish nose of honey, yoghurt and tinned stone fruit, this also has a lovely cassia bark character which develops in the glass.
Spiced and rich with juicy summer fruits, Christmas spices, pine oil, manuka honey and peaches in syrup.
Thick and syrupy with notes of red berries and Golden Syrup.
This is the smoothest and cleanest sip I have ever experienced!
I have tried Bushmills in the past and I was left happy but not impressed in any significant way. But after having this bottle I am, to say the least, amazed. I came to me under high recommendations by a local distributer, it was so complex, smooth, and I would say soothing. It definitely reminded me of my first whiskey with my old man so many years ago, maybe this was it, and I plan on savoring the next bottle with him.
One of my favorite Irish Whiskeys, great flavors and very unique taste
I started drinking 16 several years ago, after years of working my way up from Old Bushmills, through Black Bush and 10. Here in the western US, I find few Irish drinkers - scotch and American whiskey and bourbon are big - when introducing others to 16, my come-on is: "Are you a scotch (bourbon, etc.)drinker?" When the answer is "Yes", my reply is "Not anymore." and I offer a glass of 16. When they try it, their expression is pure pleasure. I've converted so many over the years, I think Bushmills owes me a commission.
As others have said, this knocks spots of the 21 year old, and it's half the price...no brainer. Best Bushmills by far.
