Nose:
Mealy and gristy malt with vanilla and apple sweetness. Freshly cut grass.
Palate:
A soft landing with vanilla and gentle lemon. Gradually overtaken by a "dark" coffee-like maltiness which, in turn, becomes almost black pepper-ish.
Finish:
Wave upon wave of pulsating heavy malt with coffee and dark spices. Brilliant!
Comment:
From the Bushmills distillery. Once again a whiskey which will be embraced warmly by those allergic to Sherry. The earliest vintages came from the Cooley distillery and although the Bushmills character is all over this one, I still think that they managed to retain the style it bore when the brand was introduced.
Rating: 8/10
