Bushmills 10 Year Single Malt

Little spicey, vanilla

On the banks of the River Bush, there used to be a watermill, hence the name 'Bushmills'. Licensed in 1608, it's one of the oldest distilleries in the world. Light and engaging, the nose of this triple distilled single malt combines sour peaches, orange peel and mild spices with delicate notes of chive and thyme. Remarkably solid for 40% ABV, the palate is fruity, malty sweet and well-balanced. Banana, pears and a touch of menthol are rounded off by pleasant hints of oak. Lime, fresh mint and some bitter tannins mark the short finish. The Irish Glenfiddich? RATING: 3.2/5.0 stars ≙ 81 pts → AVERAGE [+]

Very smooth - not super sweet.
