Bushmills Black Bush is one those “bang for the buck” blended whiskeys. Coming from The Old Bushmills Distillery in Northern Ireland, it is a malt and grain whiskey blend. For a single malt lover this is worth a try, because it has 80% of triple-distilled single malt whiskey. Aged for 7 years in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and also in Ex-Bourbon barrels before the marriage with sweet grain whiskey.
It’s been in production since 1934, formerly known as Old Bushmills Special Old Liqueur Whiskey.
Bushmills Black Bush is surely a treat when I compare it other average blended whiskies. As a fan of malt I really like the strong barley notes in this one. Like the title implies, something had shook this blend of malt and grain in a good way. Either a wind that shook the barley or maybe the fact, that it had been matured for quite a long time for a blend. Probably both…
