The benchmark Irish single malt, this has a far greater depth of flavour than standard Irish blends. Winner of the 'Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey in the World' at last year's World Whiskies Awards.

Drank a full bottle on Christmas day and ended up talking to some bushes on my way home in the early hours. Waste of a bottle really which is why i'm about to buy another one. I have a sweet tooth so this bottle is perfect for me.

The ten year old is very good, but you really want to try the 12yearold, unfortunately you can only buy at the distillery. Which is an excellent tour

any vodka drinker want to drink the irish equivalent? go right ahead and buy it light,crisp,fresh,smooth but not a whole lot else other than sweet.

Not a fan of Bushmills, too sweet or my buds

I agree with Gregg, this one lacks complexity. Still, there is a nice, smooth fruity palate and lovely nose.

For a single malt I found it okay but not excellent. It has a very nice floral sweet nose much like Glenmorangie but not much complexity on the palate. Good introduction for single malt drinkers at a modest price.

This is an excellent single malt and is the one that I prefer to drink on a regular basis. I have bottles of Original, 16 year old, 1608 and I have had Black Bush but not at the moment. Both 16yr and 1608 are very fine whiskey's with a more complicated flavour, but this comes at a £50 price tag.

Xmas present and superb - nearly all gone down the hatch due to these cold nights. Will seek some more at the weekend.

In all honesty Bushmills is one of the best whiskeys I have ever tasted! having tried all of their range even the 21 years old single malt, this one is an extremely fine Irish whiskey, i think the BOURBON seasoned barrels give it something special.

Pleasant enough, and I agree with the sweetness comments, but for me it seems to be covering for a slightly bitter, ash like aftertaste at the back of the throat. I've had a bottle in the cupboard for a couple of weeks, and I don't relish drinking it - that just doesn't happen with most scottish single malts! Maybe a few more years would do it good.

a nice whiskey, yet there's something not there, sweet, with a little bit of malt in there, too sweet for me, lots of sherry notes in there too, if you like it, not close to the distillery 12 year in my opinion

The smoothest whiskey I have tasted to date. Best savoured at the end of a trying day, especially in the middle of winter. You can feel the warmth travel down the body.There may be better, I haven't run into it yet.

I don't think this is as good a whisky as people say. it is smooth i grant you that but it does remind me of a good drink of tap water...nice but highly suspicious. it is sweet and vanillary but is this what you want in a whisky? It should be harsh but strong with the vanilla pinch to tease you and this doesn't do it. A bit overrated...

I have just won a bottle of 10 year malt in our Christmas golf comp. Will report after I get into it-can't wait.

Excellent. The best Bushmills I've had so far. This is more than just Whiskey. This is - like the add says - the benchmark Irish Single Malt. I'm currently enjoying a dram from my fourth bottle! Sl?inte!
- Whivie.be, 8th Dec '09
This is a truly wonderful malt. I enjoy it so much I have given it as presents for friends who echo my enthusiam.

The ringer of the Bushmills range. Soo good!

Absolute nectar
- Steve, 12th Oct '09
a superb Irish single malt, full flavour with hints of chocolate,caramel, very sweet. a lovely drop, as already mentioned ; best neat. If left in the glass for an hour ( not easy with this dram!! ) it develops a slightly more vanilla character.

A great, smooth Irish with hints of vanilla, almond, and even oats. Drink it neat--ice ruins the subtle flavors.
