Bushmills Original

really charming, substantial but simple (in a good way), fun, fruity, spicy and boisterous yet controlled, almost dry, tannic and low-key, as someone noted here...In short: a consistently worthwhile irish blended whiskey. A consistently worthwhile whiskey, period.

At the heart of this whiskey lies Bushmill's famous pure malt whiskey, this whiskey is blended with a lighter Irish grain whiskey made at Midleton. To me this whiskey possesses a certain low-key, 'less is more' charm. Tastewise, Bushmills offers a nice honeyish, crispy malt taste but it's certainly not a heavy whiskey. This is easy-going stuff but neither bland nor boring. Since I'm more into lighter whiskeys, I like this one a lot.

Very clean, dry on the palate, has an almost disinfectant smell about it.But don't let that put you off. Bleach is 20 times cheaper, but not half as nice!

It?s nicely pleasant to the point of being banal, and struggles to find definition on the palate. It?s warming and spicy in the finish with no unpleasant lingering aftertaste. The overall result is a dangerously drinkable if somewhat forgettable whiskey.

when feeling rich go for the 10 yr old, when feeling like a lottery winner try the 21 yr old, but for the rest of us the Original is a lovely, lovely drink. Highly recommend.

A very good whiskey to enjoy when you don't want to be drinking £50 bottles. I prefer the 10 yr Malt as my regular Whiskey which is slightly more but worth it. Black Bush is also much better. But this is still a really nice drop that is better than most other blends. Buchmills wins at every price level for me when it comes to Irish Whiskey.

tis okay, but i do prefer the blackbush.

A decent Irish whiskey with notes of vanilla, almond, fruit and a touch of spice. It's fine on it's own, but I think I'll end up using most of my bottle for Irish coffees. When it comes to a standard Irish blend I'll go for Jameson, 'cause this Bushmills is a bit dull and flat in flavour, it needs more guts. So if it's for sipping - go for a bottle of Jameson, or try the Bushmills 16. The 16 y/o Bushmills is a real cracker compaired to this one.

Bushmills is not scotch, but yes Irish whiskey and a decent one at that. However, it's a nice intro the scotch world and whiskies of other countries.

Bushmills is not scotch whisky it's Irish whiskey. Note the additional "e" in the spelling of whiskey.I like Bushmills and in my opinion it's far superior to run-of-the-mill Irish whiskey's such as Paddy and Powers

If you are new to the scotch world, this is a wonderful dram that will reel you in on a lifelong adventure. Nothing in it will offend you. If you are seeking an inexpensive scotch gift of above average quality, this is a fine purchase.

"Nose" Hot chocolate."Palate"A nutty flavour chased by maple syrup flavoured porridge, which plateaus into lightly sugared short bread cookie. "Finish"A little zing of dark chocolate and malt (think "cereal") that lingers ever so briefly.

I'm not a drinker, but made some irish coffes up with this, lovely, warm and smooth.

Not as smooth as the 10 year old..still.. it comes in a bottle...that's all I require of it. :-0)

It's cheap and a nice taste of honey.It's like Jameson but the "honey" taste is more in here i like it and it is cheaper then the jameson but it isn't jameson!

Very good, with a smooth aftertaste. Highly recommended.

Just tried my first glass the other night, and was quite impressed. Delicate fruit and honeyed malt flavours followed by some spice.

Just a very good Irish. Crushes most other grains like old seeds.

i would like to try this

very good
