Tasting Notes

Nose

Stewed apricot, toasted almond, beeswax polish and a whisper of dark honey. Fig jam unfolds with air, underpinned by old leather and candied orange peel.

Palate

Silken and layered — raisin bread, marzipan, milk chocolate and that signature Madeira note of burnt sugar and walnut. Gentle oak tannins ride beneath baked stone fruit.

Finish

Long and graceful. Drying oak, lingering dried fig, a final breath of roasted nuts and faint tobacco leaf.

Expert Review

9/10

Two decades in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, then a final flourish in Madeira drums — Bushmills 21 is a long, slow conversation with oak.
