The Old Bushmills Distillery, the world's oldest licensed distillery (since 1608), uses all its knowledge of the interaction between distillate and wood here. The high malt content gives it a structure usually reserved for expensive single products. By marrying it with a small proportion of sweet grain whiskey, a texture is created that is so velvety and soft that it is often referred to as \"liquid velvet.\" In a time when \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"540\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003esherry cask whiskeys\u003c\/b\u003e are booming, Black Bush remains the timeless original from County Antrim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eSensory \u0026amp; Aromatic Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe sensory analysis of Black Bush reveals a layering that goes far beyond a standard blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\t\u003cli\u003e\t\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eColor:\u003c\/b\u003e A deep, intense \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"30\" data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003edark gold to amber\u003c\/b\u003e.
