Nose
That leathery, saddlery, Irish note. Linseedy, nutty, grassy. Soft but wonderfully scenty. Palate
Fresh. Lightly creamy. Develops nuts and marzipan. Finish
Faintly spicy. Orange zest. Dessert apple. Comment
Tightly combined flavours. Delicate. Elegant.

Nose
Understatedly rich, with a glorious yet subtle honey sweetness which is in total harmony with the banana custard background. Fabulous. Palate
Brilliant intermingling of malt and honey which makes way for a deftly oaked middle. The tantalising spicy buzzes complement the complexity. Finish
Medium long with the remnants of a honey-comb sweetness jousts with the soft spice. Comment
This is Bushmills at its peak.
