Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried fruits, spices, sweet candied apple, floral pear — the Marsala finish adding Mediterranean warmth

Palate

Creamy honey, spiced fruit, caramelised brown sugar, nutty malt, pineapple — the triple cask creating genuine depth

Finish

Medium, warming — lingering honeyed sweetness, gentle oak — the Marsala leaving its signature

First Impressions

Bushmills 12 — new 2022 addition. Triple-cask: sherry, bourbon, Marsala. Fills the 10-16 gap. 40%.

Tasting

Candied apple and spice nose. Honeyed malt palate with pineapple. Warm honeyed finish. The Marsala adds interest.

The Verdict

Bushmills 12 earns a 7.5 — excellent value Irish single malt at £45. The Marsala finish adds complexity the 10 lacks. Strong recommendation.
