Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey, 70cl

Product Information

Provide space for air: When planting roses, be mindful to give enough space for the plants to ‘breathe’. When planted in close proximity, moisture will form between the rose bushes and eventually cause a fungal infection. Good air circulation through adequate space alleviates this risk and keeps the foliage dry. Every now and then, a blend comes along that makes you think twice about spending all that money on over priced single malts (especially over here). This is one of those times… rare is approximately 2.5 times as expense at my stores and maybe 25% better. Complete estimates there and I am sure somebody will disagree with me. But I think the point will hold up.

J Cosmet Dermatol. 2020;19(12):3403-3407. doi:10.1111/jocd.13428I honestly wasn't expecting a lot, but this was really pleasant and easy to drink, and a fantastic way to ease into a big night of drinking. I've been banging on about session whiskies recently (whiskies you drink when you want to have a real drinking session), and this hit the nail dead on the head. I wanted a second glass. Prevention is better than cure, and sulphur can act as a preventative fungicide and be applied as a spray or drench in the early season,” adds Philip.

As sad as this may be, I developed a level of whiskey snobery over the past few years. My reasonsing was, "Meh, it's only blended Irish whiskey, and it doesn't hold a flame to single malt scotch whiskies, blah, blah, blah." Body/Balance - Slightly oily, very smooth mouthfeel. The aromas transfer nicely to the mouth, with the various notes co-existing very nicely. Nose: Honeyed (sherry?) sweetness, i don't get the smoke but I do get some salt? And a spicy tang, possibly ginger?

What next?

Finish: short, smooth, a collection of the floral, grain and oak notes with green apples. Short finish that is consistently blends its flavours. This one is quite difficult to describe because it is in a class by itself. The nose is honeyed and floral, and the taste is lightly sherried and lightly sweet, being extremely smooth. If I had to compare it to a single malt, I would say that toning down the flovors of a Talisker 10 without adding water would be a fair description. After drinking a heavily sherried Speyside malt such as Aberlour 12 or Glengoyne 17, this one tastes extremely floral and entirely different. This would be more closely related to the more floral Highland malts. Taste: honey, raisins, grain. There is a spikiness of grain, it is not dominant and adds some gentle bite to this smooth dram.

This includes removing dead leaves on the ground once they have fallen so that any spores are not carried over from one year to the next.” Huang S, Rompolas P. The psychology of gray hair. Developmental Cell. 2020;52(5):548-549. doi:10.1016/j.devcel.2020.02.008According to my extensive research (i.e. 3 seconds in google), the single malt component of this blend spent a good deal of time in Oloroso sherry casks. We hope you gained value from these solutions and that your roses continue to bloom proudly. References Taste - The baking spice mix (cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves blended nicely together) takes centre stage on the palate, with the apple and butter notes also continuing through from the nose on a supporting basis. Overall, the intensity of the taste does not match that of the aromas initially presented. If you notice unhealthy stems before the leaves appear, eliminate them from your rose plant immediately. Top-dress annually in spring – remove the top 5cm (2in) of potting compost, ideally with your hands to avoid any root disturbance or shoot damage. Replace with fresh peat-free potting compost mixed with a granular general fertiliser
