Bushmills Irish Whiskey with Dan & Goran

In celebration of St Patty’s day, the patron saint of hamburgers or somesuch, and also in the spirit of completevism (you get to 50 odd reviews and you start wanting to know the totality of a line), here’s our review of the little brother of the Bushmill‘s line.

smell
dan – berry, wood, honey, sharp smell
simon – candy, apple juice, blackberry, honey
goran – caramel & hazelnut

neat
dan – toffee, honey, caramel. burns. light, doesn’t linger. wood remains
simon – still apple, bright, lots of burn
goran – walnut, toffee

splash
dan – sweetness, bergamot. kind of all over the place. pine/cedar
simon – cedar? good mouthfeel. wood.  flavour has lost structure
goran – very creamy
