Single Malt

Penderyn. Thank me later.

I found it a little harsh, but nice light colour that tricks the drinker into thinking it didnt have any depth, it did.

Strange that they keep the Bushmills name off the Sexton bottle.

Agree about Bushmills 10 (currently down to £25 at my local Sainsbury's). I treated myself to the 16-year old recently which is lovely.

Probably some attempt to create a brand they can sell off; or conversely keep if they ever sell the actual distillery.

Until quite recently, it was rather hard to find much reference to Jameson, Powers, Paddy (they've sold the brand but still make it), Midleton and Redbreast being from the same company/distillery - but they decided to be a bit more open on the labelling about it since; and the Method & Madness sub-brand is entirely open about it. Nearly none of those are single malts though!

Had a bit of tasting session with a friend this evening - Glen Scotia, Jura, Laphroig, Cotswolds, Mackmyra. Was about to hit the Bowmore when his Mrs said enough enough we’re going home. Such a wide variety of Smell, flavour and taste of the “same” drink

Bushmills 16 is a single malt,..... but the key character of the quality Irish offerings is produced by the Single Pot Still process..... mellow being the key taste profile

Midleton distillery produces about a dozen separate brands from the same location... the brands are distinct historically, but Irish Distillers are the umbrella company... a bit of a monopoly actually.

They were an actual monopoly for a period of time in the 70s and 80s, until Cooley started up; and then they started selling non-core brands from the mid 2000s. Bushmills first, then Tullamore Dew, then Paddy.
