Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
much more discreet at first nosing but maybe more elegant, with the usual fruitiness being sort of tamed by the rum – or so it seems. Apples, bananas and pears with a little candy sugar and an unusual grassiness as well as something delicately mashy (heavily buttered mashed potatoes like Joël Robuchon did in his older Parisian restaurant, 50% butter and 50% potatoes). We have also quite some flowery notes, pollen, light honey and hints of vanilla crème… Rather dainty, I’d say
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, again with maybe more balance and delicacy despite the huge fruitiness (you see what I mean, don’t you). Nice notes of bergamots and candy sugar, caramel-topped pears, nougat, halva… And a long finish, maybe a little more MOTR now, more simply sweet and fruity. Much closer to a ‘regular’ Bushmills than the 1984 of course and very good. 85 points . Bushmills 1993 ‘bourbon’ (56.5%, OB for LMdW Paris, cask #298, 2006)
