Review #69 - Whisk(e)y #51
A 1L travel exclusive bought for 42 eur including shipping.
Chill-filtered - No (personal verdict :) )
Added Colour - ?
ABV - 46%
Aspect - Deep golden colour, with slight amber hue.
Nose - Sweetness, raisin, strong oak spice, cinnamon, (salted) caramel, honey, vanilla, red apples, milk chocolate. Water brings forth a beautiful peach aroma.
Palate - Herbal, oily, bready matliness, very strong spiciness on the front - mid-palate, which fades away to a very prominent and unique peach note! Very nice! Reminds me of Pecorino white wine :). The latter is brought forth with some water, and the spice is pleasantly diminished.
Finish - Medium, slightly mineral, leading to dark chocolate bitterness, raisins and figs on the rather long after-taste and late pleasant, subtle seedy and cellery notes.
A couple of water drops / ice bring a clear cloudiness, mist to the whiskey...likely unchillfiltered. It's a shame it is not mentioned on the bottle...
Definitely not complex, yet very enjoyable, fruity and unique! So far I have not had a bad Bushmills...albeit the Original is the least enjoyable (also the cheapest).
