Bushmills 21 Year Single Malt

Part of the Whiskey Experience tasting flight in Ireland. Didn’t log notes.

One of the most intoxicatingly delicious noses on a whiskey ever. Nose: Pipe tobacco, rich sherry notes, fig, dates, toffee, dark chocolate, walnuts. Palate: The proof is a little disappointing and it feels watery. But the flavors are still amazing. I can only imagine how amazing a cask strength version would be. A lot of the nose carries through on the palate. Milk chocolate covered dates and walnuts. Honey, sweet tobacco, biscuit and fig preserves. A beautiful whiskey but I’m just left wondering what if...if the proof where at least 46 or higher.

Sweet, rich, smooth yet a touch dank. Worth the splurge!?

Dark/dried fruit, brown sugar, chocolate

Best Irish whisky I’ve ever had! But... It’s not Scotch. It’s fruity and delicious but at this ABV it’s lacking. At 46%-48% it would probably be amazing.
