Home! You can see the distillery from my folks' front door. Every bottle in the core range is lovely in its own way. I do wish they'd increase the ABVs as the ages increase, but I think you'll love them anyways, Erik. :)
Great review sir! Bushmills 10 was the first bottle of Single Malt that I was given at 19 by my grandmother and my first whisky love. I always have a bottle on hand. I love Bushmills but I'm screaming out for them to do something in the core range that isn't 40% and chill filtered!
Great summary history and core range overview. I have sampled them all as part of the Belfast Whisky Week last year. While I don't find them exceptional, the Black Bush is a good whisky for the money. The 21 is very nice but there are better choices for that price. I'm really enjoying your content, Erik.
The history part of the video is really interesting. Looking forward to the reviews and I’m curious to hear what your thoughts on the core range are. Truthfully I’ve always had a prejudice related to the proof of Bushmills whiskey. Personally I think their older offerings would be a bit more desirable at a higher ABV such as 46% or at least 43%.
Great video. I agree with Richard Agnew. It is such shame that all 6 of the core Bushmills whiskies, no matter the age or price, are all neutered to 40% ABV. They should be ashamed of themselves. Doesn't anyone at Bushmills say, "This is a a 16 year-old single malt whiskey with a proud history and tradition. It should at least be 43%."
Truth, brother! If they're so hard up for money, charge me $10 more per bottle and get that ABV out of the embarrassment zone...jeez! Bunch of stingy corporate bean counters. 🤪😂
16 us?? damn im getting ripped here at 32 canadian ,, but what can you tell me about the original, is it both irish grain and single malt ,where does the unmalted so called pasta thing come into play? is this in reference to the grain part of it? what is the grain comprised of wheat n corn? and how do they make it malted do they not use malted barley for this? is the american oak first fill? and what more can you say about the single malt in this? i heard it uses both bourbon and sherry casks

Your informative reviews are really appreciated.
Glad you like them!

Nice video Erik. As always, I enjoy the knowledge.
Glad to hear it!

I agree especially for the Single Malts that are $80 - $200.

@@jimedwards203 im new to whiskey despite living so close to bushmills. Why is that abv a bad thing?
The red bush is cheaper than the original here in PA during st Patrick’s day weekend 2021
can you please try something and tell me what you think, a dash of deanston virgin oak and a splash of j&b, add a bit of ice water if you like
Where do you get white & red for $16 - 17 ?
Google it
do they only have the 12 yr old at the distillery?

I live literally 10 miles from bushmills and a 75cl bottle is equivalent of around 33.75 usd lol
@@adamcraig1468 damn so they sell it more to the locals then the export huh
@@ARCSTREAMS maybe its just uk tax?
@@adamcraig1468 whatever it is you getting screwed juts like our high taxes here across the pond in canada

LOL!
Where in God's name are you.buying these for those prices? In NE indiana double or more for all.
Total Wine & More in Roseville California. Prices at TW&M varies from state to state, probably due to state taxes.
I live 10 miles from bushmills and a 75cl bottle of black bush was equivalent of 33.75 usd in supermarket
80 proof whiskeys are so boring.
