Nose: Soft and creamy (coconut), acetone, then a hard metallic note reminiscent of aluminium cigar tubes. Peanut brittle. Has some sweetness with water, but there's some young stuff in there.
Palate: Light, soft, grassy. Vanilla, cane juice, apricot jam. With water a nagging harshness.
Finish: Dry raffia, wet reeds.
Comment: Distinctly average. Very disappointing.
Rating: 6.75/10

In 2005, Bushmills was sold to rival drinks giant Diageo for £200 million.
In July 1975 production ceased at the old Midleton distillery and began in the morning at the new Midleton complex. The old distillery has since reopened as a visitors" centre.
Following an early unsolicited takeover offer by GrandMet, Allied-Lyons and Guinness, Irish distillers was taken over by Pernod Ricard in June 1988.
In an attempt to reverse the decline in Irish whiskey sales, the board of directors decided to close the existing distilleries in Cork and Dublin, and to consolidate production at a new purpose-built facility. A site alongside the existing distillery in Midleton, Co. Cork was chosen as the location for the new distillery, as there was no room for expansion in Dublin.
In 1972, Bushmills, the only other whiskey distillery in Ireland at the time, joined the group. This gave Irish Distillers control over all whiskey production on the island of Ireland.
Irish Distillers Group was formed in 1966, when a merger took place between Irish whiskey distillers John Power & Son, John Jameson & Son and the Cork Distillery Company.
