Bushmills Steamship Collection Port Cask Reserve Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

This Steamship does first class only…” 95.5 points – Jim Murrays Whisky Bible

Other reviews… Sweet honey daubed on ripe plums, an abundance of barley notes, black cherry, and a smattering of exotic spices. Juicy notes of cherry, plum, peach, and strawberry, with undertones of peppery spice. The flavor fills out with lovely malty notes, Quaker Oats, and vanilla. The port cask has really complemented the Bushmills character, and this second edition in the Steamship collection is the best in the series to date. 90 points – whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by:Jonny McCormick 2018

… thought that both the sherry and the bourbon versions within this funny Steamship Collection were rather okay (78-79 points) but I have to confess Ive been procrastinating with the Port. Colour: gold. Nose: were okay, really. Soft herbal teas and dried fruits (bananas, apples) plus fruit peels and a drop of raspberry liqueur. Moist fruitcake (beerawecka) and rosehip tea. Im afraid we would have called this a little feminine back in 2019. Mouth: hey, isnt the Port the best within this series? This is fully on herbal teas, hawthorn, rosehip, eglantine, a wee slice of cherry clafoutis, then just raspberries. The distillate was shy and submissive anyway, so it couldnt have clashed. Finish: short but clean and all on red berries. This time that rather worked. Comments: very good surprise here, I wasnt expecting much. If you like red berries And even the low strength kind of worked. 82 points – whiskyfun.com
