About this deal

Bushmills 21 Year Old single malt whiskey is triple distilled from 100% malted barley and matured in Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels before being finished for two years in Madeira casks. This imbues our whiskey with rich notes of ripe fruit, like succulent apricots and juicy raisins, and gives a beautiful, caramelized nuttiness with hints of smooth dark chocolate. TASTE: Robust flavours of caramelised peaches and mango marry notes of toasted almonds and walnuts, giving exceptional depth and complexity The colour is a medium honey (pretty much identical to the Original blend). On the nose, crisp malt, light honey, green apples, dry hay, anise and cardamom. That briny character is there, with the barley sugar. The too-young grain found in the Original blend is gone - all the other qualities are very similar. Very clean and refreshing, especially with water. Nose (undiluted): honeycrisp apples, cloves, cinnamon, an aroma reminiscent of sewing machine oil (it’s pleasant, I promise)

Nose: Sweet and fruity, also gives you of eucalyptus at the start. Toffee dominates and hints of floral notes are present as well. Bourbon casks are clearly giving the stronger note. Water adds cinnamon and notes of fruitcake. Matured in both Oloroso sherry and Bourbon barrels for 7.5 years before a 2.5-year finish in Cognac casks.

Triple distilled and matured in two woods, presumably American oak and sherry casks as the 16 year old, but without the finishing. NOSE: The robustness of the three woods is immediately evident with big aromas of treacle toffee intermingling with accents sweet spices of cinnamon and nutmeg Bushmills is made for enjoying. Triple distilled and cask-matured, there's satisfying richness, warmth and a touch of honey sweetness in every sip. It's a great introduction to Bushmills flavours and is quite light when mixed. Amber gold in colour, the use of bourbon-seasoned barrels in finishing this whiskey provides a lovely compliment and lessens the intensity of what are very strong flavours.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. These fortified wine casks layer on extra notes of ripe spiced fruit, deeper sweet notes, like brown sugar, and a delicate nutty dryness. The palate starts off fairly nondescript, but then the buttered pastry shows up, with white pepper, liquorice, milk chocolate and green tea. Simple and straightforward, but quite nice. Water brings out more malt, spice and apple skins. Palate (undiluted): light arrival, floral, honey, milk chocolate, a touch of salted butter, more apples On the palate, the initial hit is quite balanced: neither too sweet, nor too dry. But then, it starts to develop. You get the sweetness of malt and corn, that turns into something like milk chocolate, then strawberry, then classic malt. Finally we get the wood notes of spices and a touch of corn and flowers.

Taste: The pear and grape really break away from the crowd here, with the pear having the most to say, before the honey diplomatically interrupts and allows some green peppercorn and chocolate nougat to come into the picture, adding some very lusciously soft depth to the palate. 2.0 Bushmills 16 Year Old single malt whiskey is triple distilled from 100% malted barley and matured in Oloroso sherry butts and bourbon barrels before being finished for up to a year in port pipes. This unique combination of casks imbues it with big and bold notes of concentrated dark fruits, nutty treacle toffee and dark chocolate. Bushmills Irish Whiskey is crafted with care at The Old Bushmills Distillery in Country Antrim, Northern Ireland Nose: An open fruit basket from the off, with a sprinkle of roses on top just for good measure. A few strands of liquorice can be found woven in between the pears, grapes, peaches and bananas, all of which are giving off an intense aroma as they ferment in the sun. Some honey is drizzled on top just to douse the resultant smoke, leaving us to enjoy a densely sweet nose of sublimely fortified fruit. 2.5
