Bushmills Original

This is a classic low to mid end blend. Unlike the other blends of this price, it has less of the caramel sweetness that lesser quality slurps use to cover up weakness in their constitution. It's simple but effective and my notes reflect this. Nose - Orange, christmas and brown sugar. Hints of vanilla and leather. Palate - Oily, vanilla, some slight smoke, big citrus, sharp, hint of smoke. No big malt to speak of. Finish - Short but hits the nose well. Citrus continues. A little bitter but fruity. For a blend at the bottom end this is very satisfying, no ice needed. Enough depth to qualify as a warm up to a malt tasting session. The mark I give is a blend mark.
