Bushmills Steamship Collection Sherry Cask Reserve

Thought I'd have a lazy Sat arvo with a bit of Whittakers dark chocolate (fijian ginger and NZ mandarin) and thought why not pair it with a whiskey. This one was a great match. Sweet green spiced oak, burnt toffee and a whole bunch more going on. It's abv belies a nice spicey punch which lingers long after the last drop is gone. At $75 fair to great value. Out of several drams tried today definitely the top.

노즈: 셰리라기보단 과실향(청사과? 청포도)강함 팔레트: 오리지날 부쉬와 비슷핱 옅은 과일맛이 나다가 엄청 우디함 나무 쓴맛? 과일 껍질의 쌉쌀함과 옅은 과일맛, 다크 쵸콜릿의 쌉살함 피니쉬: 카카오 쓴맛 견과류 고소함, 약한 몰트맛 밸런스가 아쉬움

Slightly oily, fruity but not too sweet. Fab length.

Oak, leather

Okish, not great

Smoother than Black Bush, with an elegant clean sherry finish very prominent and filling the whole mouth with a delicate glow. Pure satisfaction!

This is tasty and easy to drink, but flavors are all over the map, leaving nothing to really stand out. Has smokiness, and a sweet sherry finish, and something makes me think of honey. Smooth, almost silky, but a somewhat plain landscape.
