For a Scotch that will satisfy that sherry cask craving for $28 Naked Grouse is a go to for me. Also for us in California Costco often has Glendronach 12 for $37.

Love my Scottish single malts and my re-visited (after about 40yrs) bourbons; not had much Irish to date, but an old friend of many, many years always swore by BB. Admittedly he is from Northern Ireland and knows a thing or two about drink but, he is absolutely right about this oh so smooth and sherry forward blend. Managed to pick on up last month for little money and boy....have I put a dent into it. Pound for pound (or in $ for $), this is an excellent whiskey and worthy of a place in anyone's cabinet. Spot on Erik with the tasting notes; slainte mhath.

Thanks for this review. Small addition: To be precise, it has matured for 8 years on Spanish Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon barrels. Nobody knows exactly the proportions but it is just a jewel for the money. In the Netherlands you can get it online for € 18.95

I just bought my second bottle and this review was spot on my experience. I can't afford to spend what it costs for high end whisky/whiskey, but this one I feel gets me into that realm and does it on the cheap. Cheap enough I can make it my go to, which it probably will be after I get my 3rd bottle later this week just to be sure. Around where I live, it is about 25-30% more to buy than what are essentially decent/standard bottles albeit fairly mundane. There is nothing mundane about Black Bush. Drinking it at the price its offered at really does make me feel like I'm getting away with something.

Another great and informative video Eric👍. Now, I haven't had Black Bush yet even though it's highly thought of in Irish Whisky circles at home in Ireland, but it is on the list. As for a same priced Sherried Scotch, I can get Glenfarclas 10yr(one of my favourite Scotches) here in Germany for €30 or under.

Hey Erik, have you tried The Sexton Irish Single Malt? It's $30 here in Florida, like the Black Bush, and its only aged in ex-Oloroso casks. The Black Bush is blended, partly aged in ex-bourbon and also might be older whiskey. I wasn't able to find how long they age The Sexton but the Black Bush is aged around 7-11 years. I haven't tried the Black Bush yet but I enjoy The Sexton just as much as you seem to like the Black Bush for an affordable sherried whiskey.

I was just going to mention the Sexton. I found a place selling it for $16.99. I ended up buying three bottles! Great budget whiskey. I think very similar to Black Bush although it's pure single malt, also sherry finished. I believe they were sourcing from Bushmills. Only wish they would up the ABV and it would be fantastic. Same goes for Black Bush.

Great review! Agree with the tasting notes, and agree it would be a very nice daily sipper or house whiskey, but in my area it's $40 and I think someone spending $40 for first time tasting this one might be disappointed.. But- if smooth Irish is your jam, this is solid.

@@cliffnorman178 Bushmills makes single malt whiskies and blended whiskies using single malt whiskey as the base. Whereas something like Jameson's is a blend made with "single pot still whiskies" . Single pot still whiskey is made from malted and unmalted barley which gives it a rather different taste and character. In my opinion, Bushmills is closer tasting to a scotch whiskey than is Jameson's or Redbreast because of the use of single malt whiskey. Note that the Irish put an "e" in whiskey whereas scotch whisky does not.
