Advantages: smooth, and tastes SO good

Disadvantages: Not found in too many pubs- you may have to settle for Jamesons (which is still pretty damn nice)

The first taste of Black Bush- 10 year malt Irish Whiskey was, strangely enough, in the Jamesons Distillery, which distills all types of Irish whiskey, apart from Bushmills, which, I believe has its own distillery elsewhere in Ireland.

I was invited to take part in the whiskey tasting session at the end of the distillery tour- and being a self respecting trombonist, accepted.

The difference between the 5 irish blends was staggering. Out of all of them, the Bushmills was the smoothest and went down really well. Jamesons had a definite edge to it when the two were compared, and the taste did not seem as refined.

Bushmills is real sippin' whiskey, it's the smoothest one I've ever tasted, and in comparison you can really taste the smokey peatiness of the scotch, and the rough edge of the Bourbons.

However, for the real Bushmills experience, I would have to recommend drinking it side by side with Guiness.
Nothing better.
