Bushmills Black Bush Special Old Irish Whiskey

Colour

Dark coppery amber with mahogany edges and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Dark, velvety aromas of dried fruit—raisins, fig and plum—linger over a cocoa-rich depth. Subtle sherry sweetness mingles with toffee, vanilla and toasted oak, while a whisper of cinnamon and clove adds warmth. Elegant, inviting notes of leather and espresso round out a supple, mature bouquet.

Palate

Silky and medium-bodied, this Black Bush coats the palate in velvety richness. Dark plum and raisin mingle with warm spices—nutmeg, cinnamon—over a kiss of toffee and cocoa. Subtle oak lends elegance, finishing long and mellow with a lingering sherry sweetness.

Finish

Silky and enduring, the aftertaste lingers with sherry-soaked fruit and gentle spice—raisin and dark berry notes melt into cocoa and vanilla, then a warm oak glow that slowly fades to a refined, comforting echo.
