Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: A lifted, perfumed fruit-filled nose, soft and pulpy, apricot yoghurt and crannachan (raspberry oats sugar and cream).
Palate: Starts sweet, soft and juicy starting with apricot ending up with redcurrant and cherry.
Finish: A very light smokiness.
Comment: Lovely balance. A whisky for those who like things on the fruity side.

8.5

Taster Michael Jackson

Nose: Pronounced Madeira ' toffee' character.
Palate: Smooth, sweet, succulent. Marzipan. Glazed almonds.
Finish: Dusting of ginger.
Comment: A delicious whisky. The sweetness and nuttiness of Bushmills whiskey and of Madeira are an enjoyable double-act. The whiskey has to work hard to avoid being upstaged.
