7 After years of being overshadowed by its older wood finished cousins, this 10 Years Old is finally coming into its own.

7 Lovely nose (once again). . Lacks a bit of depth (once again).

World Whiskies Awards 2007 - World's Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey - Winner

Bushmills 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
6 All the woods are influential, especially the port in the finish. A very dexterous balancing act, but is the house character eventually overwhelmed?

Bushmills 12 Years Old Distillery Reserve
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
7 Despite being a malt, it still, somehow has an Irish accent. Slightly more personality than the Bushmills malt at 16 Years Old. Drinkable and sociable.

8 A leap in quality above the rest on show here. Worth a trip to the still just to buy one.

Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
8 All the woods are influential, especially the port in the finish. A dextrous balancing act.

Bushmills 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
8 Is the house character overwhelmed by the three woods (bourbon, sherry and port)? I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Bushmills 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
7 Triple distilled whiskey drawn from bourbon, sherry and port wood...what a balancing act. It usually works a treat, but this time the elements are strangely out of kilter.

Bushmills 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
7 A touch slick and a little one-dimensional.

Bushmills 1608 Reserve
Blended - Ireland - 40.00%
8 Very rich and sweet, but still a Bushmills.

Bushmills 1982 Bourbon Cask
Single Malt - Ireland - 57.80%
8 An unusually dry expression of Bushmills. Complex. Austere. Bushmills needs a touch of sherry sweetness.

Bushmills 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
7 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.

Bushmills 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00%
8 This whiskey has changed quite a bit in the last few years. It's now less subtle, more forthright, but no less delicious.
