Are You Ready For Old Bushmills Honey?

This is embarassing. Old Bushmills is coming out with a honey-flavored blended Irish whiskey. The embarassing part? They're making it exclusively for the U.S. market.

Looks like everyone is racing to make one of these. Next year maybe it will be honey cherry.

............. because we NEED whiskey that tastes like a Luden's cough drop. :lol:

Honey flavored nail polish remover has to be a step up from the plain stuff, no?

This made me spontaneously break out in "I'm proud to be an American..."

Maybe this stuff will actually be drinkable. The regular is drain cleaner.

If you don't like Bushmills you won't like this but if you do, you might. The whiskey definitely cuts through, which is a good thing. In that it is unlike the Jack Daniel's Honey, in which the whiskey is completely masked. The Bushmills is simple and not overly sweet. It tastes like Bushmills whiskey with a little bit of very high quality honey. The bottle is nice and the spirit is a pretty color, so all in all, not bad.

The press kit came loaded onto a USB embedded in a log, which I enjoyed.

I'm not overly fond of Bushmills Original, but I do like the Black Bush quite well. The Malt 10 and 16 are also very good. I haven't had the pleasure of tasting the 21.

I'm not a fan of any flavored whiskies, so I'll probably just pass on this one, too. :grin:

I love Black Bush too but will pass on the honey. I'm still staring at a bottle of WT Honey that I bought a few years ago in an attempt to coax my wife into the world of whiskey. Needless to say, I failed in the endeavor. She's strictly a gin and tonic girl to this day.

I too am not a fan of flavored whiskey, but I liked to put WT Honey in the freezer. Every once in a while, that hit the spot.
