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.
Tasted it on irish bar in DK. Expected a lot from bushmills 10y and 16y. Palate: honey, vanilla, smooth creamy, and then cat piss, vanilla, nothing. Death finish. Maybe irishmen should not tripple distilled there whiskey. Now I much more prefer Whisky ;-)
For its price, ok. Glad to see the end of the bottle. Bit of a harsh bite to her. Invest a little extra for some Black Bush!
Enjoyed 2/3 of a bottle with and at, my neighbours last night. Having seen the price I'm feeling guilty that I helped to demolish what turned out was a present from his wife...oops.
This is amazing drink. I can drink it every day. Wow... This is real taste. Recommend.
I didn't find anything special here. It's somewhere between a Glenlivet 18 and an Aberlour/Tomatin 18, without being as good as any of them. It's got a bit of an antiseptic taste to it, similar to Glenlivet, but not as spritely; much darker like the latter two. The 21 is one of my all-time favorites, but this one just didn't do it for me. It's not *bad*, it's just not something I'd personally get again.
