Bushmills SMWS 51.8 “Funky flowers and tropical fruits”

Recently we’ve seen a sudden jump in Irish whiskey coming out. Perhaps due to certain tariffs from a specific country caused by a dumb fight between airline manufacturers, perhaps due to the rise in demand for Scotch, or perhaps because there was a rumoured large amount of honey barrels released by a rich collector family.

Bushmills Red Bush

Simple idea: I’m tasting Irish whiskey, have enough time/tastebuds left to have one, and someone offers to pour me Bushmills Red Bush. That someone? Alfred Einstein. Wait, no. It was a rep. for Bushmills. So I go off, find a spot without different smells coming in to screw with me, and I review. But what is Bushmills […]

A Drop of the Irish Black Adder 2016 Sherry Cask Finish Single Cask

Thanks to /u/saba007[ for the sample. This past year (2018) I had lots and lots of plans. Finish my accounting schooling, find a new job in a new career space, making running jokes that only I’ll appreciate at all, and review enough Irish Whiskey to finally hit 100 total reviews. I’m happy to say I got most […]

I’m happy to […]

Bushmills 21

So I’m back, on a different day, at a different place. I may or may not have been bouncing around Dublin and we may be hungry and my wife may be hitting “needs a gin and tonic” o’clock. It was time to try a different whiskey bar. One that had food this time. And according […]

Bushmills Original

If you’re anything like me, you view whiskey reviewing as an all encompassing hobby that strives to drive you to drink every type of whiskey available and feel downtrodden when you haven’t officially reviewed a base spirit for fear that some Internet strangers (and some friends) will judge you. Just me? Gotcha. Good. I’m a […]

Bushmills 10

And here I am, in the land of Engles, drinking my way through the country and reporting back. It’s a springtime bender vacation that is vastly overdue. There’s some difficult parts to this year though: I’ve done many more reviews since last time, and as such, there’s less and less whiskies to review. Not to […]

Bushmills Black Bush

Back to reality for a little bit, where I don’t to a review on a Scotch every couple of hours. It’s time to knuckle down and do an Irish. I know, I know. You feel bad for me, running out of Scotches to review and having to drink another interesting whisky from a part of […]
