BUSHMILLS IRISH BLEND 1608 ORIGINAL 70CL 40%

Made from barley; distiled 3 times, then aged in oak. (its younger, round 3 (as opposed to Black Bushs 5 Years, and aged less than Black Bush; Black Bush picking up a darker color and a spicier, almost cinnamon kick from eight-plus years of Sherry barrel aging) Bushmills: the name comes from the river bush. They also use 100% irish malted barley. Bushmills original is said to be around five years old. It?s aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, with the ex-sherry cask percentage being small. Black bush is, like standard bushmills, a blend of malt whiskey and (a bit of) irish single grain whiskey to soften it. The real difference comes in the aging, with black bush picking up a darker color and a spicier, almost cinnamon kick from eight-plus years of sherry barrel aging.
