Bushmills Black Bush Blended Irish Whiskey. County Antrim, Ireland. ABV: 40.00%. Tasted at Durty Nelly’s, $10
Colour: Rich Amber. The madam of the knock shop.
Nose: Oaky sweetness, smells a bit like a sherry matured drop.
Palate: Soft entry, minimal heat.
Finish: Short finish, quite dry.
Comments: As a blend, it’s obviously quite smooth. But with some time in the glass it seems to develop slightly fuller flavours, all the better for it. I hadn’t come across a sherry-matured blend before, but I would definitely give it another burl ahead of other blends, quite decent.
