A 375ml bottle cost me $14.99 at Total Wine here in Albuquerque. It's 80 proof, and it's aged for three years. It's a corn color in the glass.
NOSE: Flowers, honey, a slightly sour note, alcohol, pears. After a couple of sips I picked up an additional note - something sharp which I think might be the malt, since I've encountered this note before in Balcones Texas Lineage Single Malt Whisky.
MOUTHFEEL: Watery.
TASTE: Honey and pears, very faint oak.
FINISH: Medium - oak, honey, and an alcohol sting.
This isn't a bad whisky, but I suspect it's at most on the middle shelf of Irish whiskies. I'm just beginning to experiment with Irish whiskey, and this is just my second, but I already have a ranking - Jameson is better. This is just much more simple than I like. I will, however, possibly buy it again, and I'll certainly try other Bushmills expressions.
