Tasting Notes

Just this week Tom Bulleit and the people at Diageo have added a new Bulleit to their arsenal. Bulleit Rye is the first new product to from the Bulleit family since the brand was revived in 1987. There have been rumors of *something* coming for a while, and while there may be more to come, this is a welcome addition.

Many whiskies are icons. Busmills Original is the Irish whiskey that was around my house for Irish Coffees as a child. Before I know anything about whiskey, I had learned that Bushmills was special.

I had to make sure to record these tasting notes before this bottle was depleted and evicted. This particular liter was purchased at Trader Joe's for a mere $18.99 and was featured in the "Lazy Irish Coffee".

Bushmills, like many Irish whiskeys is triple distilled and therefore very smooth. It's also a blend of single malt and grain whiskey bringing balance.
