BUSHMILLS
16-YR SINGLE MALT (matured in three woods)
Aged sixteen years in bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks, then
finished for several months in port pipes.
N: Saddle
leather and sweet old glossy-stock mid-century library books; Meyer lemon
candy, sagebrush, sea salt, and grass; fortune cookie dough, rich tobacco leaf,
tarragon, and oatmeal cookies over stones-after-rain (coarse rainy pavement)
P: A sweet
fig-and-rhubarb entry note is starred with ginger and cinnamon and fresh bay leaf;
there's an Irish exuberance of briny, sanguine flavors (gushing mandarin segments, white
pepper, spearmint candy, and blood), with a finish of sweet creamy pineapples and
cinnamon, all hung with a funky undercarriage of blueberry skins and stones; salty and
concupiscent and wonderfully dirty and really, really long…
Like drinking a beautiful old book. Delicious and light and compelling and persistent. Gorgeous juice, eminently worth the sieben-bill pricetag.
