Bushmills Black
Nose
A gentle sherry presence greets the nose – with fresh apple cider, young fruity red wine, and champagne grapes. A hint of cereal grains and bakery goods, like scones, but not overly sweet.
Palate
Mild and thin. A bit of grape jelly, and more non-sweet baked goods… English muffins? Otherwise, same notes as on the nose. A bit sweeter on the tongue – with more caramel than anticipated. A hint of acetone, but only a hint.
Finish
Medium-long. The grain is more present here, with a bite of young, medicinal grain alcohol, but that passes quickly and the finish fades pleasantly with grape skins and red wine tannins.
