Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey 70cl | Sherry Cask Matured | Premium Irish Blend | saveandgo

Product Overview

Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey 70cl is offered at saveandgo.co.uk as a single bottle release that showcases one of the most historic Irish whiskey styles still produced today. This whiskey is considered the flagship blend of the Bushmills range and is admired for its unusually high proportion of single malt whiskey, aged mainly in oloroso sherry casks.

The combination of rich sherry-matured malt whiskey with a light grain whiskey gives Black Bush exceptional balance: rich sweetness at the front, smooth texture throughout, and long warmth at the finish. Customers choosing from Save & Go often appreciate Black Bush for its depth and drinkability.

History & Distillery Background

Bushmills whiskey is crafted at the Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, Northern Ireland — a distillery proudly linked with over 400 years of whiskey tradition. Records show that the area was granted its distilling licence in 1608, making Bushmills the oldest licensed whiskey producer in the world.

The village of Bushmills surrounds the distillery and forms a central part of the whiskey’s cultural identity. Generations of families have worked at the site, shaping a local production tradition that continues today. This heritage is reflected in every bottle supplied through saveandgo.co.uk.

Production & Cask Influence

Black Bush stands apart from most blended Irish whiskeys because of:

• a very high percentage of single malt content,

• triple distillation for purity and smoothness,

• and oloroso sherry cask maturation.

Sherry casks contribute deep fruit sweetness, dried fruit character, chocolate tones and savoury spice. Grain whiskey softens the overall profile, creating rounded mouthfeel and an easiness that suits everyday drinking.

Customers purchasing from Save & Go often choose Black Bush for this distinctive cask influence rather than the lighter bourbon-only Irish styles.

Appearance

Deep amber with reddish highlights. The colour reflects long interaction between spirit and sherry-soaked oak. When poured, the whiskey shows slow-moving legs in the glass, suggesting weight and maturity.

Aroma (Nose)

Bushmills Black Bush delivers a generous aromatic profile:

• dark dried fruits (raisins, sultanas),

• rich caramel,

• vanilla pod,

• warm spice,

• oak char,

• and hints of candied citrus peel.

Many customers at saveandgo.co.uk describe the nose as fuller and sweeter than most blended Irish whiskeys.

Taste (Palate)

On the palate, this whiskey presents:

• dried fruit sweetness,

• roasted nut tones,

• malt biscuit and chocolate,

• creamy vanilla,

• and toasted oak.

There is no smoke; instead, the style is silky and warm, making Black Bush a comfortable choice for neat sipping or casual evening pours.

Finish

The finish is long, clean and flavourful:

• sherry depth lingers,

• gentle oak tannin develops slowly,

• caramel sweetness fades into spice.

Drinkers selecting Black Bush from Save & Go often comment on its unusually long finish for a blended whiskey.

Serving Suggestions

Customers purchasing from saveandgo.co.uk enjoy Black Bush in different ways:

• neat in a tulip glass to highlight fruit flavours,

• with a splash of water to expand aroma,

• over a single cube of ice,

• or as a deeper base for Irish whiskey cocktails.
  It pairs particularly well with dark chocolate, dried fruit desserts and roasted nuts.
