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.

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.
