The palate opens with green apple and lemon, then vanilla, nutmeg and ginger, and the finish is long and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhisky Advocate scored it 93 points and named it to its Top 20 list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePomerol, on the right bank of Bordeaux, is home to some of the world's most sought-after Merlot-based red wines, and its casks are rarely seen in whiskey. Bushmills' smooth, fruity triple-distilled malt is an ideal partner for that wine wood, and the Private Reserve series is where the distillery shows its most unusual cask experiments. Irish whiskey must be distilled and aged on the island of Ireland for at least three years in wooden casks, and single malt Irish whiskey is made entirely from malted barley at a single distillery. Ten years in oak, four of them in wine casks, make this one of the most characterful bottles in the Bushmills range, and a fine gift for any Irish whiskey fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted wood, red currants and raspberries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green apple, lemon, vanilla, nutmeg and ginger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Bushmills, Northern Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irish single malt, limited release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 years bourbon and oloroso, then 4+ years first-fill Pomerol Bordeaux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46.5% (93 proof), non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a few drops of water.
