Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey, 70cl

Product Information

Nose: The nose is light but expressive, with notes of honeydew melon, roasted barley tea and a little savory cheese rind must. There’s a hint of alcohol burn. We make whiskey like it's always been made round here. But Bushmills is much more than just a whiskey. It's a village, where families, friends and neighbours work side by side at the distillery. As we often say, 'without the village there'd be no whiskey, and without the whiskey there'd be no village'. for the next seven years, within the countie of Colrane, otherwise called O Cahanes countrey, or within the territorie called Rowte, in Co. Antrim, by himselfe or his servauntes, to make, drawe, and distil such and soe great quantities of aquavite, usquabagh and aqua composita, as he or his assignes shall thinke fitt; and the same to sell, vent, and dispose of to any persons, yeeldinge yerelie the somme 13s 4d... Palate: The taste is all warm spices, caramelized sugar and marzipan. It’s quite round, with a touch of tannic astringency and some nice, rich sherry character coming through. Some raw ethanol heat but nothing terrible unpleasant and a medium length finish. \

Mouth: Very sweet, has a fullness in the mouth built entirely upon that sweetness that makes it seem sweeter, and takes that sherry flavour i'm not confident is on the nose and then makes you think of honey again. Something florid about it. Every now and then, a blend comes along that makes you think twice about spending all that money on over priced single malts (especially over here). This is one of those times… Or maybe it was the maturing of 7 years in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and sweet bourbon barrels. Decent stuff, I must say...Body/Balance - Slightly oily, very smooth mouthfeel. The aromas transfer nicely to the mouth, with the various notes co-existing very nicely. Over the years, the distillery went into and out of business with the Bushmills Old Distillery Company founded in 1784 to handle the distillery operations.

The practice of whiskey distilling had taken place in the town of Bushmills for centuries, with one of the earliest recorded instances of whiskey drinking dating to 1276. Finish - The finish on this isn’t long but neither too short - a little sweetness lingers on with some woody notes, hints of caramel, and citrus spice floating around. I can’t say anything bad about this fortunately. As a matter a fact its probably my favorite blend now. We Are Kilbeggan". Kilbeggan Distilling Co . Retrieved 31 March 2022. 1917:Owing to food shortages throughout Great Britain, the distilling of whiskey in Ireland is suspended.

Before attaining relative sobriety in the early 2000s, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen was a heavy drinker of Bushmills, consuming as much as two full bottles per day. [13] The 21-year-old single malt is aged for a minimum of 19 years in former Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon-seasoned casks, then transferred into Madeira casks for a further two years. “It has a huge depth that interweaves dried fruit flavours with spicy, aromatic maltiness and subtle nutty raisin notes,” says Bushmills. This whiskey has a slight after-burn but includes an interesting aftertaste. It is one to drink and savour slowly. An authentic whiskey By the 1600s, the production of whiskey had started to be taxed and licenses were required for the commercial production of the spirit. One of the first people to be issued a license was Sir Thomas Phillips, an English knight-turned-mercenary. He obtained a license in 1608 for his distillery in Bushmills in Northern Ireland and started production. The aroma is gentle and fruity, with hints of Mandarin orange. Also a slight sourness. Not very expressive but not uninviting either.

Near the end of 2010, I became interested in single malt whisky, after a conversation with a friend. Many delectable tastings later, I decided to do some research on Irish Whiskey. Until that time, I had only tried Jameson, and I still have an ufinished bottle of the 12 year Special Reserve, which is very nice. Bushmills is made for enjoying. Triple distilled and cask-matured, there's satisfying richness, warmth and a touch of honey sweetness in every sip.

I slowly walk into a lush garden clearing, hearing bird songs above me. Inhaling deeply, I can smell the bark of the trees, a caramel sweetness hangs in the air around me. The scent of a warm apple pie with cinnamon slowly fills the clearing. I close my eyes and inhale everything around me.
