Tasting Notes:
Tasting Notes by Gavin Smith

Nose: Baked apples and spicy malt. A pleasingly mature character to it.

Palate: Big bodied, slightly oily, with nutmeg and red wine. Sophisticated and assured.

Finish: Notably long, drying with dark syrup and liquorice notes.

Comment: A confident whiskey that feels as though it has some age to it.

 

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom
Nose: Rich and ripe, with some dark (cooked) black fruit. Raisin, cocoa, praline, coconut. Substantial smooth succulence.

Palate: Sweet start then it firms up in the centre where the nuts return melting into the chocolate and raisin. Chewy and tongue coating. Showing some complexity.

Finish: Long, sweet.

Comment: Beautifully balanced.
Customer Reviews:
Wow! So easy to drink you won't even think about water or ice. Maybe a bit on the sweet side for some people but I'll be having a lot more Black Bush in the future. If you enjoy a speyside like Macallan or Glenlivet then you'll love this. This is the whisky that Naked Grouse aspires to.

If you think JW BLACK is good then try this and be prepared to be blown away! JW in my mind is very over rated, sorry!

If you like JD and Coke, then replace the Jack Daniel's with Black Bush.

Toffee, toffee and.. toffee. A great example of whisk(e)y spoiled by ultra sweetness.
- Mikko, 14th Jul '11
Totally georgeous whiskey, best around for the price, must try this! I love it more than most single malts I've tried

This Whiskey is simply outstanding for the price. Much better than many very expensive whiskey's. Lot's of layers to the flavours. Just stunning, almost as good as the 1608 and it's less than half the price.

Best Irish blended whiskey i have tasted, lovely stuff. Nice sweet and smooth with sherry and raisin tasting. Top stuff. The cream of the crop of Irish Whiskies.

a belter of a whiskey, i drink this neat, very smooooooth could be a liquid version of silk!

That's what I love about whiskey. Everyone has an opinion. Black bush is a really enjoyable reasonably priced blend. But in JW Black's league? Hell no! If you have tried JW Black already, try this. If you haven't, why?

Palate (undiluted): Smooth, sweet chocolate mousse introduction followed by a nuttiness, think of cashews and brazil nuts. Next comes some spiciness, but not to the point of being peppery. The spiciness rests upon a malty background mixed with some dark fruitcake. Really intriguing. This is medium bodied. Finish (undiluted): Medium to short finish. Chocolate mousse again, oak and soft spices.

Great stuff which hasn't been spoiled with price. Taste dwells in your mouth for few hours even you have taken a wee sip of this. Tasted like smooth liquorice and toffee after tasting and you'll notice wood as well.

Black Bush is tasty and reasonably priced, but merely hints at the treasure hidden in bottlings of Redbreast 12 or Bushmills 16. Black Bush is a fine everyday sipping Irish Whiskey, but is absolutely not the best.

This has always been my favourite blend. Highly recommended!
- Paddy Nesbitt, 27th Sep '09
Beautiful!! Sweet sherry, smooth caramel, toasted raisin
- c.j, 30th Apr '09
Certainly one of the best whiskys I have had. I like this straight, not even ice or water. Goes done smoothly with a nice aftertaste. This is too good to mix.
- anonymous, 17th Jan '09
fantastic for the price

The finest blended whiskey in the world.
