The Bushmills 10 Year Old Malt Irish Whiskey: A High-Quality Single Malt

By Best Scotch on 2022-12-22 0

If youre a fan of Irish whiskey, youll want to give the Bushmills 10 Year Old Malt a try. This single malt whiskey is produced by the renowned Bushmills distillery in Northern Ireland and has won numerous awards for its exceptional quality and flavor profile.

The Bushmills 10 Year Old is bottled in a distinctive square bottle with a green label and is sealed with a plastic and cork stopper. The whiskey is bottled at 40 alcohol and has a mid-gold color that suggests a robust flavor experience.

On the nose the whiskey has a fruity and aromatic aroma with a hint of spice. The flavor is smooth and sweet with well-balanced notes of honey and chocolate. The finish is silky and clean leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

While the Bushmills 10 Year Old is a relatively subtle whiskey it may not be suitable for those who prefer bold and intense flavors. However, for those who appreciate a more refined and understated flavor profile, this single malt is an excellent choice. It is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, as mixing it with other ingredients may dilute its delicate flavors.

In terms of pricing, the Bushmills 10 Year Old retails for $35 to $45 in the United States, depending on local taxes. In Europe, it can usually be found for around 30 to 35 euros. While it may not be the most affordable Irish whiskey on the market, it is certainly worth the investment for its high quality and exceptional taste.

Overall, the Bushmills 10 Year Old Malt Irish Whiskey is a top-quality single malt that is worth trying if youre a fan of Irish whiskey. Its smooth and flavorful profile make it a standout choice that is sure to become a new favorite in your collection.

Does the term “Craft Distillery” make sense in the world of Scotch Whisky

By Jesse Proulx on 2017-02-13 0

Dave Broom prolific whisky author and editor for scotchwhisky.com discussed his point that we should do away with the term “Craft Distillery” in an interview with Mark Gillespie on WhiskyCast. He points out that “Craft distilleries” is only used when reffering to small independent distilleries. Here is an excerpt from his original article

 

Smaller-sized distillers need to cut through, but though Scotch is a noisy and cluttered category, there is room if they concentrate on making the best quality they can manage. The allegedly faceless big companies have whisky-makers every bit as dedicated as they are. Insulting them insults the whole category.

Oh and by the way, they are as ‘craft’ as anyone in their dedication to their work, so let’s drop that term as shorthand for small-scale. Enough. Please.

The Best Scotch Under 50$

If you are looking for a great gift for a Scotch drinker or you are looking to build up a scotch collection, high-quality single malt scotch whiskies are a great way to go. Many Scotches are expensive, and it is easy to fall into the trap that you must pay top dollar to enjoy the best Scotch whiskies. I have put together a list of scotches that are inexpensive staples in my collection.

A note regarding the pricing. Some bottles on this list may be more than 50$ due to extreme variations in the pricing of alcohol in various regions. Variations in taxes mostly cause this. I have done my best to estimate the average price in most states and use that to make the guide. For this reason, I have chosen to omit the prices when discussing the Scotch whiskies.

Hello again everyone,

the work on the site is well on track. I know it may not look that way just based on what you see changing on the website, but I assure you a lot of work is going on in the back-end setup.

You can expect to see some content starting to come up next week in preparation for the soft launch of February 5th. The goal for the soft launch is that have the core technology of the site finalized and have a few articles up. It will still be fairly empty but this will give us a chance to test all the functionality of the site with a smaller pool of users. The first edition of the monthly newsletter will be going out next week as well. If you have not yet taken the time to sign up for it, I would encourage you to do so by using the form at the top right side of the webpage.

The official launch is scheduled for February 25th and everything is on track so far. There is still a lot of work to be done.

Thank you and have a great day.

Hello
