Bushmills Black Bush

This an interesting one. For a low price whiskey this has some complexity. I first noticed a rich, buttery chocolate and cork smell. It tastes sweet and spicy with notes of nutmeg. It passes friendly and smooth across the pallet. One thing that comes to mind is a seasoned trailmix. I get toasted almonds, raisins and bittersweet chocolate. As the drink goes down it ends with notes of leather and a peppery bite. Definitely an interesting and delicious ride from start to finish.

Eh, it’s a typical Irish. Sugary sweet toffee and pretty thin. I liked it more than Jameson, and probably more than Kavanaugh, but I had this right after the Sexton and it did not compare.
