Comments: 

Blended whisky from Bushmills - all from Bushmills, grain included - made from regular malt, grain and crystal malt. The crystal is meant to give it some chocolatey notes. I must say that it's not much in evidence. Instead it's fresh tasting, with huge notes of honey and maraschino cherries, with a biting coffee note in the finish. Very nice, very drinkable, almost quaffable.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
