    Unforgettable

    Fall in love on my first try 2 years ago. Love the oak taste and smoothness that is unbeatable. Bushmills 21 year old the whiskey is still the one.

    Impressive.

    Just had a glass in a pub in Portrush and was very impressed.Its the only Irish whiskey that even comes close to Scottish single malts.

    Nope !

    It’s the age old problem with old malts, tannins and of the strong oaky type. The whisky is nice if you can ignore the flavour as if you’ve been sucking on a lump of wet of oak. It shows it’s cask age to well even for a 21 year old. It’s got some lovely flavours but nowhere is there tobacco just oak neither is there “chewy dates” as Master Of Malt said. (I think they are selling it a little to hard there) we know supposedly it’s a good dram from its awards but I hasten to think that was a few hundred batches ago like 10 years ago when the batches were not as tannin rich may be ? Or may be a few good batches ? In any case I’ve found some nice flavours but those tannins are strong and immediately over power the other flavours because you just get a quick smack in the face with lovely sweet apricot like flavours and then the oak keeps building and building until you get that dry oakyness (if thats a word) on the sides of your tongue that you wouldn’t be wrong to reach for the mouthwash to not endure it anymore. May be a 17 Y/O would be better but for now this just falls flat on it’s face what a let down and for an expensive dram it just does not deliver the goods so my rating will reflect this value for money disparage.

    40% ABV kills tue chance for complexity

    It’s 40% and likely chill filtered, if you’re used to even 46% bottlings this is going to disappoint. Decent but never better than that, I would certainly not buy it again, too boring and smooth and lacking anything special.
