Bushmills 1608

A blend of three different types of whiskey -- malt whiskey grain whiskey and a third component which is said to be a malt whiskey produced from crystal malt. Brewers and homebrewers know crystal malt well a slightly caramelized version of malted barley. Its rich texture suggests a decent malt content for a blend. Layers of sweetness (honeyed vanilla rummy molasses toasted marshmallow) are balanced by toasted nuts dried fruit and dark chocolate. Very dynamic and with plenty of grit. Smartly bottled at 46%.
