Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey 40% ABV 70cl | Award-Winning Premium Irish Whiskey | Rich Dried Fruit, Nutty & Oloroso Sherry Cask Notes | Smooth Whiskey Gift

Decent product. No complaints

Purchased for a Brother s birthday great quality and price

I'll start by saying that I'm not a massive whisky drinker. I've not tried a huge number of different whiskies - although I have tried a few - and I certainly know what I don't like. I'm not a fan of peaty whiskies like Talisker. I also know what I do like. I like Penderyn, the welsh whisky. I like Bushmills. It seems that Irish whiskey is smoother and more subtle than Scotch Whisky - at least to my palate. I'm not a fan of Jameson's strangely enough though. I've tried several of the Bushmills whiskeys - white label, black bush, 10 year old malt, 16 year old malt & 400 year anniversary - of all of these, black bush is my favourite. In comparison, white label tastes a little thin - nice until you've tried the other variants. The malts are lovely, but black bush is, in my mind at least, uniquely satisfying. It has a smoothness and mellowness that allows for drinking neat. The bouquet is wonderful - almost brandy like. Regardless of all that, this is my favourite whiskey by a long way - the litre bottles represent excellent value (particularly when the price drops below £25!). I cannot recommend this enough!

This honestly is probably the easiest whiskey to enjoy. Even non whiskey drinkers not just tolerate it but actually are pleasantly surprised. It is a blend - but one of mainly malts and you can taste the difference immediately. It is exceptional value between £30 - £35 worth it at £38 a litre but over £40 then it has competition. Very good gift and I have sent friends many bottles over the years and everyone loved it. Stangely I find that many of the doubting critic's come from north of Berwick on Tweed - and even they are grudgingly approving just not to their twice distilled peaty taste!

I've an old friend from Holywood, N.Ireland who swore by Bushmills Black Bush for years and yet I've never knowingly sampled this......we got through a lot of beer, so it may have sneaked past me. Well, in my now happy retirement I decided at the offered price of £23.65 for a 1 Ltr bottle that it was an opportunity not to be missed. I have to say that I've been on a single malt journey for a wee while and my only experience of Irish whiskies have been a Xmas samples gift and Jameson Stout Edition (not immediately a winner but one that benefitted from oxidation over a week or 3). There are those with a much more sophisticated nose/palette than mine that would agree with the various tasting notes etc. so I'll save you my limited whisky(ey) vocabulary. Suffice to say that this is better than Jameson and is indeed very smooth. It's a lovely honey gold colour on the eye but there is not much to report on the nose aside from a general sherry sweetness. Post arrival, the development is pleasant in a Speyside sort of way, but I know that after the first neck pour that such whiskies gain momentum and after air and rest in bottle grow in stature. The Black Bush is one such whiskey. It clearly wears its high malt content well and it drinks a quality that you wouldn't be shy in sharing with friends. It is great value when on offer and it will please if not thrill. I have perhaps been spoiled by more integrity malts.....however, I am no whisky snob. A good blend is not to be sniffed at. The BB is no exception.

Excellent service with a genuine kind delivery man ,this is a lovely whiskey.

I don't drink whiskey because I'm not over forty years old, nor do I have a magnificent beard (which, as we all know, are the key attributes for a whiskey drinker to possess). My dad, however, does fulfil one of these requirements, and so he does drink whiskey. This is his favourite one. For as long as I can remember (which is only up to a few years ago, as my tipple of choice is vodka), he has asked for a bottle of this for Christmas, and every Christmas, I try my best to oblige. He says he loves it because it's matured in sherry casks, which gives it a great, unique taste, and, because he grew up in Northern Ireland (where Bushmills originates), he says it reminds him of home. I think he really loves it because it's really expensive, and nigh-on impossible to find in conventional shops, and he particularly enjoys the taste of a good bottle of Black Bush knowing the cost and trouble that went into acquiring a bottle. Well joke's on you, Dad! I got it off Amazon on a lightning deal while I was sat in the office and supposed to be working! I don't particularly mind getting him a bottle every year, though: the alcohol content means that the inevitable Christmas Day argument takes on a more amusing slant, as he becomes an irrational and gibbering wreck, and then forgets what he was even complaining about. He was probably ranting about the shame he feels in having a son that can't have more than four drinks without tactically vomiting. I blame the fact that I'm half-English, and like a full-English person, can't handle my drinks very well at all. Oh, well... Here's to the whiskey known affectionately in our house as Daddy's Happiness Juice!

Todo perfecto

Ich bin Whiskeytrinker aus Leidenschaft und teste auch schon viele Jahre alle möglichen Produkte - bin aber ganz sicher kein Experte der besonders viele unterschiedliche Aromen herausriecht oder schmeckt - wer einerseits Lust hat rumzurobieren und eventuell auch vergleicht was er zu welchem Preis bekommt dem sei dieser Black Bush ans Herz gelegt. Rechnet man den Preis um auf 0,7l kommt man auf € 17,75 - da kann jeder in seinem Markt schauen was er dafür bekommt - unabhängig vom Preis ist wie immer alles Geschmacksache - auch bei Whiskey. wer auf besonders rauchige oder torfhaltige Aromen steht ist hier wohl nicht so richtig, ebenso die American Bourbon Anhänger - für die gibt es den Red Bush. Und selbst für einen Nicht-Experten wie mich ist die Abgrenzung zu diesem Black Bush nachvollziebar- genau so wie auch von Bushmills charakterisiert. mich interressiert weder ob Blend noch ob Single Malt noch sonst etwas an Herstellungsarten sondern nur ob er mir schmeckt oder eben nicht. Punkt. Ich kann höchstens die gröbste Richtung angeben - was mir sofort auffällt - schon beim Riechen an der Flasche ist das selbst für absolute Laien sofort nachvollziehbare Sherry-Aroma. Wem das schon mal grundsätzlich zusagt der sollte den mal testen (falls noch nicht geschehen) - den Preis mal ganz aussen vor gelassen ist er mein Favorit. zu guter Letzt - auch die ( natürlich vielleicht nebensächlich ) sehr gelungene Aufmachung ist ebenfalls sehenswert. Eine wirklich beeindruckende 1,0l Flasche mit Korkverschluss in einer schönen Box - auch das für diesen Preis eine Sensation und schlicht und einfach gesagt - mehr als gut gemacht ! - viel Spass beim Testen

Bushmills allgemein gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Whiskys haben ein tolles PLV. So ist es auch bei dieser Flasche. Das dunkle Etikett macht auch als Geschenk etwas her, schön, dass auch Kork als Verschluss zum Einsatz kommt. Wertet das Erlebnis auf. Nun zum Whisky selbst. Beworben wird der hohe Malt-Anteil. Das kann ich nur bestätigen. Andere Blends haben oft einen für mich unangenehmen Beigeschmack. Bushmills wirkt dem mit einem sehr hohen Malt-Anteil entgegen, sodass dieser Beigeschmack entfällt, wenn auch der Whisky kein reiner Malt ist und auch nicht zu 100% so schmeckt (nicht unbedingt negativ gemeint!). Der Sherryeinfluss ist angenehm. Der Whisky ist ideal, um den Einfluss von Sherryfässern kennenzulernen ohne gleich eine Sherrybombe im Glas zu haben. Er ist (typisch Ire) wahnsinnig mild. Das macht ihn für zwanglose Abende ideal. Aber auch als Geschenk macht er schon was her, geschmacklich, aber auch durch den Korkverschluss. Schade, dass keine Geschenkverpackung beiliegt, aber in durchsichtiger Folie verpackt ist das Problem auch gelöst. Umweltfreundlicher ist sicherlich ein Pappkarton, gefüllt mit etwas Stroh und feiner Schokolade sowie einem Glas. So ist das Geschenkset komplett und jeder Whiskyliebhaber begeistert! Klare Kaufempfehlung. Sofern Ihnen meine Rezension geholfen hat, freue ich mich über ein "hilfreich"

Nella mia ultima vacanza, che è stata nell'Irlanda del nord ho fatto visita anche alla Bushmills, la più antica distilleria ufficialmente registrata. Oltre ad essere molto interessante come visita ho potuto degustare sia il single malt 12 anni (che non si trova in commercio praticamente da nessuna parte) ed anche il Black Bush: sia io che mia moglie siamo rimasti molto piacevolmente colpiti, in effetti è stata una fortuna fare quella visita, si è portati a pensare che i "veri" whiskey li sappiano fare solo in Scozia, ma effettivamente non è cosi! appena tornati a casa abbiamo deciso di ordinarlo qua su Amazon. Veramente un ottimo prodotto: complesso, armonico, piacevole al palato ed al naso. Una precisazione importante, la valutazione tiene doverosamente conto del prezzo di vendita, ci sono prodotti superiori? certamente!! del resto ci sono prodotti che hanno prezzi decisamente più alti, ovviamente hanno caratteristiche sensibilmente superiori, ma a questa cifra è sicuramente un ottimo acquisto! non si spende molto e si porta a casa un prodotto assolutamente valido e piacevole, che colpirà positivamente anche amici e parenti.

Très bon
