1980s BushMills Miniature Collection

2 x 1980’s Bushmills 10 Year Old Malt 5cl

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Very expressive at first nosing, starting on the usual bananas and rum notes. Goes on with very ripe strawberries, notes of kirsch and mirabelle plums and eau-de-vie.

Mouth: Creamy, almost thick, starting on apricot pie and honey and developing on lots of different fruit jams as well as a little white pepper and hints of clove. Ah, yes, also ripe bananas of course.

Medium-long finish, with strawberry jam and quite a lot of cinnamon. A style of its own, very drinkable.

2 x 1980s Old Bushmills White Label 5cl

Colour: Pale gold.

Nose: Nicely grainy and nutty, with lots of freshness, developing on the trademark banana notes as well as a little apple and grape juice. Also a little toasted cake, hints of mastic and a very faint smokiness. Very inoffensive, round and ultra-clean.

Mouth: Fruity, direct, cereally and again very fruity. We have mostly bananas, dried pears, coconuts and cornflakes. Not weak at all, with a finish that’s medium long, still very fruity and also slightly caramelly.
