Bushmills Original is an approachable whiskey with a rich, characterful taste of fresh fruit and vanilla

Palate: Rich, ripe fruit such as cantaloupe and fig mix with marzipan, almond milk, and a pronounced numbing clove flavor. The body is chewy and round with low tannins and a long, mellow finish with little to no alcohol astringency.

Overall, the intensity of the taste does not match that of the aromas initially presented.
