Normally I stick to scotch but someone purchased a bottle of 10 year Bushmills for me and I decided to post it. I was particularly impressed. The whiskey is unpeated and therefore there is no smoke taste. Bushmills apparently distills the whiskey three times instead of the normal two times for a single malt. This is most likely why it is mild for an Irish Whiskey. It is aged a minimum of ten years within the typical Bourbon Oak Casks.There are very noticable vanilla tones in both taste and smell. Spicy with a taste of honey that passes quickly. The taste definitly lingers and is felt all the way down. Honestly one of the better Irish Whiskeys that I've tried. May be harsh on beginners.
This whiskey can be bought locally for $40 a bottle.
