Old Bushmills can be absolutely magnificent, and this single cask from Irish whiskey bonder J.J. Corry is a prime example. On the nose, I'm met with honeydew melon, pears and hints of banana, followed by mango, light citrus and ginger. It needs time to open up. The palate veers towards tropical fruits, cough drops and custard, joined by guava, peppery spices and marzipan. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Toffee, grapefruit zest and spearmint round off the long and sophisticated finish. It is not often that I wax lyrical about Irish whiskey, but this malt is a peach.
