An exquisite Irish whiskey, Bushmill's 21 is matured in a mixture of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks, before a two year marrying period spent in Madeira casks. Produced in limited numbers, each bottle is numbered.
Rich toffee, honey, spiced fruit notes and dark mocha.
Chewy, dates, pecans, grapes and mango.
Sweet, syrupy pipe tobacco and mint.
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
