Bushmills Malt 10 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2010 Dec,27 in Tasting , Old Bushmills

A product of the world's oldest licensed distillery. Bushmills single malt Irish Whiskey is the original single malt whiskey from Ireland. With an intriguing aroma and well-balanced flavour, Bushmills Malt is a delightfully delicate malt and uncomplicated whiskey crafted from 100% malted barley. Its style is mellow and light, and a time tested drying process assures that the taste of the malt shines through.

All the malt used in the mash is dried in closed kilns devoid of peat, preventing it from absorbing the fire's smokiness while retaining the malt's distinctive, authentic character and exceptionally clean taste. Bushmills Malt has a sweet spicy aroma with overtones of Oloroso sherry, vanilla and honey.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (76): inexistent. many corn, grain, a little sweetness, grass, pineapple, raisins. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (76): . sweet, honey, wood. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (84): no finish. some wood and honey. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Bushmills Malt 10 year with 79 points over 100.
