Bushmills 10 Year Single Malt
Single Malt — Ireland
Reviewed January 13, 2020 (edited April 2, 2020)Hot nose, hints of mint, pepper, rolled grains and musty cobwebs. Lots of golden raisins and ripe d'anjou pears. Sweet front, some warmth, green grapes. Some spice and eucalyptus. Long, light caramel finish mingling pear-like sweetness and grains. -
Golden straw in color, speedy legs. Sweet Corn, barnyard, dry oak and barrel char and a bit of burn hints of currants and tart berries. Some light caramel. Softer than I expected, but finish is hot and fast. Sweet. Nothing unexpected, outside faint notes of mint and eucalyptus. A bit flat on the palate and not very complex, but this is an incredible value at $23.99 for a 1.75.

Revisited this in Dec 2020. Noted more barrel char on finish, and a note of mint/rosemary up front. Upped to 3.5. will be a standard on my bar as it's a great daily always available value sipper Terrific value bourbon. Notable deep color. Nose shows vanilla, burnt caramel,rye hay funk and oak. Somewhat sweet front, well rounded, finishes hot and carries some notes of fall spices. More vanilla. A Hint of light tobacco, but that could be from last night's cigar.22.99 USD per Bottle

John J Bowman Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Virginia, USA
Reviewed December 31, 2019 (edited February 13, 2020)Nose is oak, leather, barrel char and hints of cinnamon and light tobacco. Soft mouthfeel yields to heat. Vanilla, caramel and fresh cut oak follow the Dry and hot palate contrast the soft mouthfeel. Long warm finish shows some spice and more oak. 4.27.20 I've had three or four bottles of this now, and found that the experience has ranged from unforgettable to, well less so. A lot of variability in these, but some of them could easily be rated a 4-4.25. -
