Whiskey Review: Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey

Introduction Today, we’re wrapping up our Bushmills trilogy with Bushmills Black Bush . A couple of years ago, Bob bought a bottle of Bushmills during the holidays, and it came with two 50ml samples of Red Bush and Black Bush. So we got to try all three for the price of one. We really loved the Red Bush , which was aged exclusively in bourbon barrels. Now we’re on to Black Bush, which is all sherry-cask-aged Irish whiskey . It’s 80 proof , triple-distilled, and aged at least three years , just like the others in the lineup. Given how meh we found the standard Bushmills and how fantastic Red Bush was, we’re curious where Black Bush will land. Will it bring balance to the force, or will it be the one dragging down the lineup? The following review is taken from our episode " Lawrence of Arabia / Bushmills Black Bush ."
