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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
