Bushmills 12yr 750ml

Had this with a friend who usually sticks to Scotch, and even he was impressed by how well the 12-year aging balances the oak with a gentle sweetness. The finish lingers just long enough without being harsh.

The first sip surprised me with how smoothly the 12-year aging comes through—no bite at all, just a warm, oaky finish. It’s perfect for sipping neat on a quiet evening.

I was worried the extra aging might make it too oaky, but it’s surprisingly balanced with a gentle warmth that lingers nicely. This bottle has a real depth of character that makes it perfect for sipping neat on a quiet evening.
