Bushmills 16 Year Single Malt

Initial flavors of apricot, peaches, and other stone fruit, transitioning to spicy pepper on the back of the tongue. Added two drops of water which sweetened the initial flavor and mellowed and spiciness.

Fruity, very spicy. Has a powerful finish. I’d say pretty full. Overall I’m a fan of the flavour profile but find the fullness a little too much to make this a favourite.

On the nose there's malty grain, fruit, and unmistakable port wine. On the palate it's ridiculously smooth, to the point I can barely notice there's alcohol in it. It's very sweet, with a mix of oak and port. The finish is overwhelmingly port wine with a slow building spice. Overall I think this is an excellent pour for the price. Reminds me alot of Balvenie 21 portwood.
