If you've been in a bar (any bar, really), you've more than likely seen a bottle of this on the shelf. One of the most well-known Irish blends, Bushmills Black Bush features a lot of sherried malt in its recipe, alongside classically caramel-y grain whiskey. Suitable for enjoying neat, but it can also be used in whiskey cocktails that call for dark fruit sweetness...
Over-ripe grape and light citrus on the nose. A touch of toffee and peanut.
Vanilla and milk bottle sweeties. Dried peels, chamomile tea and cinnamon sticks.
Digestive biscuit, cooked plum and orange oil.

Lovely balance. Nice Sherry notes. A great session dram.
So smooth, very easy to drink. For me, it works best on its own with a single ice cube. Hard to beat at the €30 price point, and punches above its weight.
First taste very pleasant, soft after taste, excellent with Christmas pudding :) Have been long to try Irish Whiskey and this was recommended. Very nice for a bend and well priced.
Extremely good on its own, over ice or with a drop of water. Vanilla and toffee on the palate with a smooth finish. Highly recommended.
