Single Malt — Ireland

Bushmills got it's grant to distill in 1608. While not a requirement, Irish Whiskey is often distilled three times, making it much smoother and easier to drink at the cost of loosing complexity in flavor some say. This 16 year aged expression combines spirits aged in three different types of wood as well: sherry, bourbon, and port barrels. The result is one of the best and most flavorful Irish Whiskey on the market.
Lots of floral and orange blossoms notes on the nose followed by taste of orange, nuts, and honey. Slightly lingering on the finish with dark chocolate and black pepper.

@socialdistilledspirits I'm not the biggest fan of the Jameson expressions, but I am of the Redbreast range. Even more so I enjoy and can recommend Powers John's Lane and the Spot range (especially Green) if you were thinking of experimenting further with Irish. Cheers!
@Scott_E Cheers 🥃
@1901 My experience with Irish Whiskey is pretty limited but I've had a few different Bushmills, a lot of different Jameson's expressions, and Redbreast 12 and 15. They only one I've had that came close to being as flavorful as this one is maybe Jameson's 18 Year.
Agreed. Good flavors. Good whiskey.
My favourite Bushmills...
