Tasting notes
Very fruity, Black Bush is a delicious blend of rare richness and elegance. With an interesting maturity typical to malt whiskeys, Black Bush is full bodied and deliciously smooth, with a hint of liveliness brought by the grain. Right from the pour you’ll notice the dark colouring‚ a result of maturing for up to 8 years in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks and sweet Bourbon barrels. As for the taste‚ this 80% Malt Whiskey floats across the tongue to deliver dark‚ velvety fruity notes right through to the long finish.
