Bushmills Black Bush

Neat - Takes a few sips for the whiskey to open up. Smooth, with some honey notes.

Good but ... a little too sweet / or a bit too much caramel - for my taste...

ES / EN No soy muy amante de los Whiskies irlandeses, pero este, particularmente, me encanta. Es sencillo, pero con toques muy agradables dulzones y afrutados, sin ser empalagoso. En nariz resalta la fruta deshidratada con un toque avainillado y dulce. Si hace calor puede dar un golpe etanolico que extiende el picor en boca. Resalta, muy curiosamente, el olor de single malt, a pesar de ser un blend, lo que resalta con otros Bushmills y le imprime carácter. El primer sorbo, en boca, es muy dulce, con notas de cereal y caramelo muy suave que va dando paso a sabores afrutados y al picante. Tiene un ligero regusto a tofee que continua con el toque a caramelo, y el toque afrutado y picante que no desaparece en largo rato. No tiene apenas notas de garganta, aunque se notan algunos toques florales muy agradables. En general, es un whisky sencillo y muy fácil de beber, lo que lo hace más difícil de describir. / I'm not very fond of Irish whiskeys, but this one, in particular, I love it. It is simple, but with very pleasant sweet and fruity touches, without being cheesy or overwhelming. On the nose, the dehydrated fruit stands out with a touch of vanilla and sweetness. If it's hot it can give an ethanolic hit that spreads the itching in the mouth. Curiously, the smell of single malt stands out, despite being a blend, which is different from other Bushmills and gives it character. The first sip, in the mouth, is very sweet, with notes of cereal and very soft caramel that gradually gives way to fruity and spicy flavors. It has a slight toffee aftertaste that continues with the previous touch of caramel, and the fruity and spicy touch that does not disappear for a long time. It has hardly any throat notes, although some very pleasant floral touches are noticeable. In general, it is a simple whiskey and very easy to drink, which makes it more difficult to describe.

Initial smell hits with ethanol, caramel. First hit is simple, spicy and relatively smooth. Notes of vanilla as you continue. Always smooth. An easy drink that would be a safe choice.
