Bushmills Original

Nose: light sweetness, fresh fruit, pear, mild honey, hint of vanilla, wood spices, maybe a sweet straw grass note, some alcohol punch that subsided at it opens up, overall pleasant but not complicated. Tastes: decent sweetness, a wisp of fruitiness that is gone as fast as it arrives, spice notes pop out quick and take over and lingers some, grassy almost herbal note, vanilla tries to push through but has trouble getting past the rest of the flavors. Not horrible but not great. For the price, it’s worth a look.

Palate is much better than the nose, which smells a bit odd to be honest. Sweetness and decent complexity on the palate.
