Bushmills 21 Year Old

I am also a sottish whisky drinker but this has an amazing amount of complexity without the weight of a scotch. very easy drinking, definitely strong chocolate notes. it's only downside is that it is so easy drinking that i drink it too quickly.

Not scotch or a Scottish whiskey. Dumba**es! Stands alone. if you add more than a few drops of water to this whiskey, you should give it to someone who will appreciate it.

Just to note, the flavor is definitely *not* Islay smoke, which I love. More of a dank tarry nicotine taste. There's no fresh peat-or-anything-like-it smoke to be found.

This is very very thick and quite good with lots of great mostly "dark" flavors: chocolate, maple, dates, pecans, coffee, etc. Awesomely thick and delicious. Except. One of the more prominent flavors is a pretty thick pipe tobacco resin, as mentioned in the MOM review. For me, this just negates everything else. If only that wasn't there, this might be my favorite of all time; five stars easy. But I just can't get over it, so, three stars. YMMV.

not a shade on Scottish whisky to be totally honest

In Norway you can get this for £57 at the vinmonopolet. What a bargain!

I purchased it for a roll-licking $89.00 , the taste is unique and its very smooth. I am on my way to get one more of these ;)

I almost have a hard time believing this has alcohol in it. Very smooth and VERY viscous. If you've ever tried Booker's bourbon, it's the same feeling just a different flavor. Goes down like a melted chocolate bar with some mocha, nut/dried fruit, and (yes, but in a good way, I think) a bit of tobacco. I don't get the mint or mango or grapes mentioned in the MOM review. Really it's a brilliant, totally unique, whiskey that I'd whole-heartedly recommend to anyone and even perchance call the best whiskey I've tried in terms of complexity, however just as with Booker's bourbon, to *my* taste it's a bit too smooth, not quite enough kick. I'll certainly always keep one in stock for entertaining and cold nights though.

Completely awesome. even a novice such as myself can appreciate the subtleties of history and flavor resonating throughout this fine spirit.

As an avid Irish whiskey fan, Bushmills 21 is off the charts! The complexity is unbelievable. The enjoyment of this whiskey separates the amateur from the purist.

6th March 2014

Like others have said, I was able to purchase this for less than $100. That being said, this is as smooth as advertised. It is a clean tasting Irish whisky (as is usual with these triple distilled and kiln dried nectars), with lighter floral and sugar notes that last from start to finish. A splash of water opens the nose and makes the taste from start to finish pure enjoyment. I spent extra to buy this whisky because of its consistent great reviews and standing in 2014's Jim Murray's Whisky Bible as the "Irish Best Single Malt of the Year." It lived up to the hype.

...but it's 110 retail.

Full marks from me

30th October 2013

Love this, can't beat it but its not $225...its around $110 in most places I've seen.

great dram but as been said above, it's cheaper than advertised here- I can get it for $95.99 at my local package store. At that price it's the best Irish and definitely one of the best whiskeys on the planet period.

Best single malt Irish period!

As far as whisky goes this one is an absolute delight!

22nd August 2013

This is one of my favorite whiskeys, and indeed one of the first 2 bottles I bought on my 21st birthday. It's rather like candy on the tongue.

That being said have you chaps lost your minds!? This is a bottle that can be had for less than half that here in reputable bottle shops here in Lower Manhattan, where everything is absurdly expensive.
