MJL Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My local boozer was selling off liter bottles of Bushmill's Black Bush for $20 to close out the stock. I picked up four liters before ever tasting the stuff over the last year. Well, I opened one of the bottles last night. Wow, very nice, sherry undertones, fruitiness with flavors of dried fruit, raisins, craisins, mediterranian apricots, vanilla and some coconut. Very nice, not spectacular but very nice!

Dramiel McHinson Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I've always liked a glass of Black Bush after a heavy meal. I even like it before a heavy meal or as a meal substitution. I thought of it as adult fruit juice and with all those light fruit flavors it just has to be good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great score, man! That's one hell of a bargain. I happen to really enjoy BB as well. And the more you drink it, the more layers you'll discover. Enjoy!

moose Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Its an excellent bottle at that price, still good at its usual $40, but at $20 its tough to beat. Does carry nice underlying dried fruits, I got the apricot as well as some light lemon. Its a good bottle thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Burns clean, too! A few friends and I knocked off a bottle last week while watching baseball and we all woke up fresh as daisies. Always a mark of quality!:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasH Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Except for some duty free only 12yr. old that was out in the early 90's and now discontinued, BB is the plum of the Bushmills lineup!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_elliott Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Nice score at $20 I would have have bought all they had. I'm a big fan of BB I also get pear from this like the juice from canned pears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I like Black Bush quite a bit. I'll take it over Jameson 12, and I like J 12 just fine.:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I think retailers close out bottles when the label or packaging changes. I have noticed that I was buying the old Bushmills labeled bottles and the newer ones are selling for the regular price. I have noticed Glenlivet is also changing their packaging and the older packaging seem to be priced near sale price in many places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
