Bushmills Original blended whiskey is the flagship for the Bushmills distillery – one of the oldest distilleries in Ireland, dating back to the days before prohibition. This is a blended Irish whiskey – specifically a blend of single malt and column-distilled grain whiskeys, triple distilled in true Irish fashion. On the nose there is sweet caramel and light honey, with a lovely drop of green apple and summer fruits. The palate has light grain character, combining a rich, smooth warmth, with light rye spices. Like the nose, you find fresh fruit and a delicious vanilla and honey finish.
