A very fine mild flavored Irish whisky. Great on the rocks with a splash of water. A little spendy for frequent consumption.

For the price I'll take Jamesons any day.

For the price I give it a 5*. Less complex than Jameson and without as good a finish but much more pleasant to drink and no negative qualities. It all depends on your mood whether you want a Jameson or a Bushmills. Sometimes you just want simple golden deliciousness and thats Bushmills. Sometimes you want more complexity and a heady finish and that is Jameson.
Either way for the money both drinks are 5* considering their value for money.

A great whiskey for the money; full creamy body with vanilla and honey notes on the palate. This is what I often go to when looking for a bottle of booze at a liquor store that couldn't taste the difference between a white and dark rum. This is one is a bottle I like to have on hand in my cabinet.

I don't drink the muck, and entirely for political reasons. Its not the case anymore, but there was a time when Bushmills was distilled in the north, by Prot English loving bastards, while Jameson's was distilled in Dublin by good Catholic Republicans. Now, they're owned and operated by the same greedheads, but nonetheless I can't bring myself to put my lip over a glass of this swill made by descendants of Oliver Cromwells syphilitic byblow...


Not that I hold a grudge or anything...

For $25 a bottle OK but prefer Black Bush which has more malt.

In a top few for smoothness, not like most whiskies for taste, aroma and
heavily under rated. would recommend just on price. 21 yr is a favourate in my collection of over 70 single malts -can not wait to try the 400 anniversary special 1608.

made a good irish coffee with it. smells like straight up drunk person's piss though.

A good choice but be careful shooting this.

I occasionally drink a cup of Earl Grey tea with a shot of the black label Bushmills as a hot toddy.  This is good in the winter time especially if you feel like your getting that flu bug or rotten cold for which there is no remedy.  It is smooth enough to drink neat and a high end restaurant's secret to a great Irish coffee.  Very reasonably priced and a should have for your liquor cabinet.

Nice and smoooooth....go for the 18 year old and you have a product that you can sip all night long and love every minute of it!!

Bushmills is at the top of the heap for good sipping and drinking. Irish whisky is really first rate.

Bushmills 16 Year Single Malt in the reddish label. Around $48-68 per bottle. This stuff is amazing. None better that I've consumed. It spends time in three types of oak casks, then American Bourbon casks, then sherry casks, then port pipes. My wife and I buy one bottle of good Whiskey, bourbon, scotch every year at Christmas, and this is by far the best. We've had Gentleman Jack, JW Black, Green, Blue, and Gold Label (the Gold is good if you like a rich peat flavor; Blue not worth $150), and many, many different single malts. The Bushmills 16 year is THE BEST OVER 20 years of Christmasses. McClellan Cask Strength is a close third behind Bush 16 and JW Gold. Merry Christmas. (The reason we like the cask strength is it does not lose its flavor in a handful of ice.)

very solid altough not as good as regular Jameson which has more tasty, balanced flavor. I prefer Irish whiskies in general over Scotch anyday - they are distillied 3 times (compared to 2 times in Scotland) which gives them truly unique and much much smoother taste. There are some pretty good irish whiskies from smaller distilleries but Jameson ranks on top; I even prefer it over Bushmills Black. If you enjoy smooth tastes like these, try also bourbon style Gentleman's Jack - for a sweet and mellow taste.

My favorite Irish. Unique taste that I like. No other Irish tastes like it.

The original is great, much better, smoother and with greater flavour than the more expensive Black Bush. I've done the factory tour, tasted the various selections and the original is up there with the best as far as I'm concerned. I think I marginally prefer Jameson whisky, though sometimes I sway in favour of Bushmills. It's a close run thing. I must point out that the 12 year-old single malt Distillery Reserve is exquisite.

Five stars for Black Bush; none for the white label version. THERE ARE TWO SORTS OF BUSHMILLS WHISKEY! One - Black Bush - is very good indeed. Black Bush is one of the two best Irish whiskies you can easily find in America - the other being Powers. The other Bushmills comes with a white label that merely says "Old Bushmills". It should be used only for cooking and cleaning shoe leather. Old Bushmills, which perplexingly is both widespread and popular in America, is so nasty that I haven't drunk any in years. Who knows? Maybe it's improved lately, but I'm not about to waste 30 bucks a bottle to find out. So, spring for the good stuff, or stick to Powers.

Jameson is ten times better with more aroma and body compared to bushmills. Give it try.

An outstanding sipping whiskey, especially for someone who usually doesn't drink it straight. Smooth & mellow without a harsh afterbite or excessive burn on the way down. For a special treat, sip it while smoking a good cigar...an outstanding combination that'll make you feel like a million bucks!

Even though it is a blend, it is a good sipping whiskey for the price.

Pretty good Irish, not as good as Jameson though. Tastes bad the next morning when the sun is in your eyes and someone is drumming on your head.

Best of the Best...

Smooth and tasty, Bushmill's is by far the best whiskey. It goes down like honey and leaves you feeling just as sweet.

Very nice Whiskey. While I was living abroad I became friends with this British guy who used to always go on about how great Bushmills Whiskey was but unfortunately where we were it was unavailable. Well when I got back to the states I tried it and I gotta say he was right, very smooth, to the point where you could drink it on the rocks with no water to dilute it and it would still go down nice an easy. There are a couple of different brands the black and the white, and of the two I would have to say that the white was actually the nicer of the two and the less expensive as well!

There are two Bushmill's Bushmills White and Bushmills Black. I cant remember which one is the best however its the expensive one. Im not a Whiskey drinker however the expensive one went down fine. Worth spending that few quid more. It can boast to be the oldest working distillery in the world, so they know how to make good whiskey.
