Bushmills Original

This is my first and only (so far) foray into the Irish Whiskey World. Pleasant nose. A tad sweet with fresh bread in the background. Enters the palate with a light malty sweetness. Toasted grain with light smoke. A bit thin and underaged in my opinion which leaves the mid-palate weak. Soft, easy finish without much lingering. This reminds me of Troy & Sons Oak Reserve with the rough spots sanded out (although I think I prefer some of the rough spots). I don't see me sipping this one often, but the good news is this bottle should last me several St. Patrick's days.

To me, a young and raw drink. Whilst sweet and typically non smoky, bushmills doesn't really shine. It can also cause a bit of a sore head the next day. Pales in comparison to the better aged and distiller black bush.

An every day compagnion . Very good price.
