    By cweidler on 15th Jun 20102010-06-15T05:03:00

    So I thought I would treat myself today as I just finished a bit of commission work I had been doing. I headed on down to one of my favorite wine/liquor stores and was set to browse around until I found… read more

  • Bushmills 12 Year Old Select Casks - Pirates of the Caribbean Whiskey

    By markjedi1 on 16th Mar 20102010-03-16T21:04:00

    This Bushmills can only be obtained in the duty free shops and hence is a 1 litre bottle. It's a marriage of the classic Bushmills single malt and Bushmills that has matured in Caribbean Rum casks. It … read more

    My brother brought back this unique bottle from a recent visit and it is only available for purchase at the distillery. I must admit that I am a fan of the regular bottle of Bushmills and annually buy… read more

  • Bushmills Black Bush - A strong expression

    By badams on 25th Jan 20102010-01-25T17:04:00

    I generally prefer single malts over blends, but there are a few exceptions - some of Jameson's finest and this particular Bushmills, the Black Bush. Its flavour is remarkably distinctive for a blend,… read more

  • Bushmills 1608 400th Anniversary - Beautiful Bushmills Blend

    By markjedi1 on 5th Jan 20102010-01-05T19:02:00

    According to history (or is it legend), the first ever official sanction to distil aqua vitae was given to Sir Thomas Philips in 1608 by King James I of England. To celebrate this event's 400th Annive… read more

  • Bushmills 16 Year old 3 Wood - The magic of Port Pipes

    By markjedi1 on 31st Dec 20092009-12-31T13:35:00

    Bushmills produces some of the best Irish whiskeys in my humble opinion. I love the Original and Black Bush and adore the 10 Year Old single malt, so I was expecting quite a bit from this 16 Year Old … read more

    Having not tried the 21 year old, but having this the 10, the original and the black, Jamesons and Jamesons 12, Powers, Tullamore Dew and Middletons, the only thing that is close in pleasure is the Mi… read more

  • Bushmills Clontarf Reserve - Clontarf Single Malt's little nephew - almost the same

    By markjedi1 on 10th Nov 20092009-11-10T22:25:00

    I recently wrote a review of the - surprisingly good - Clontarf Single Malt. Tonight, I tasted the Reserve, which is a blend of 80% of the single mail and 20% grain whiskies. The single malt is matured… read more

  • Bushmills Clontarf Single Malt - Pleasant surprise.

    By markjedi1 on 9th Nov 20092009-11-09T21:12:00

    This Clontarf Single Malt (with no age stated) is listed in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible under Bushmills, where it is being distilled since 2003 (before that, it was produced at Cooley's). It's pale straw… read more

  • Bushmills Black Bush - D(r)amn good dram!

    By markjedi1 on 7th Nov 20092009-11-07T20:20:00

    I have four bottles of the Bushmills range in my cabinet, but so far only tasted the Single Malt 10 Year Old. Today, I tried the Black Bush. Black Bush is not a single malt, but a blend of single malt… read more
