Black Bush
With an intriguing flavor and a name to match, this is our special blend. It combines a uniquely high proportion of malt whiskey matured in former Oloroso Sherry casks with a sweet, batch-distilled grain whiskey This unique recipe gives Black Bush its rich fruity notes and deep intense character, balanced by a unique smoothness. The nose is big and full with a rich fruitcake aroma and intense Sherry sweetness developing into dried fruit, raisin and Christmas cake notes. It is soft and silky on the palate with a nutty character. A lingering sweetness on the finish shows a remarkable balance between the poier from Sherry-seasoned casks and the smoothness of the spirit.
7 P.M. START WITH:
Appetizer
Caramelized Onion Dip with Cilantro-Garlic Pit Crisps
Bushmill’s 10 Year
Triple distilled from 100% malted barley and matured for a minimum of 10 years mainly in Bourbon-seasoned barrels, it has aromas of honey, vanilla and milk chocolate.

The Cornerstone of the Bushmills family.

Bushmill’s 16 Year
This distinctive Irish malt whiskey is aged for 16 years in a combination of Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon-seasoned casks, then matured for several months in Port wine barrels – a unique maturation which imparts distinct notes of juicy fruits, nuts and spice, as well as a hint of ruby redness. The robust nose carries notes of treacle toffee and sweet spice. Full bodied with flavors of praline, honey, caramelized fruits and toasted nuts. Deep finish of jammed berries and dark chocolate.

Best place for a date night!

My husband and I have been here numerous times. This is our favorite place for a night out. The location is awesome! Within walking distance of everything you could ever want. We love the pub and Irish music! Their bloody mary’s are great, made with house infused vodka! I think the value for the rooms is wonderful considering the location and that you get a fireplace and hot tub! I completely understand that it is tough to keep up an historic building and to keep good help in such a seasonal location so I can look past a few bumps along the way. It is not a giant corporate downtown big city hotel chain…that is what we love! I also love the freedom, privacy, and intimacy it offers versus a B&B. I know we will be back again and again!
Beautiful Hotel!!

The Waterstreet Inn is absolutely beautiful; the period furniture added so much charm, and the comfort of the whirlpool tub and gas fireplace made the experience even more perfect!

My wife and I spent the night before Thanksgiving at the Water Street Inn. Then we enjoyed an excellent buffet on Thanksgiving day. The room was a large and set in a Victorian style with elegant furniture, beautiful wallpaper, a jacuzzi tub and a gas fireplace. The room service was excellent. The night before Thanksgiving we had an enjoyable time eating lite snacks with various flavors of Guinness in Charlie’s Irish Pub. On Thanksgiving day we had the buffet which was outstanding and once again the service was excellent. Our time at the inn was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to step back in time for a brief moment. The only minor issue I had is that I am partially disable and it was a bit difficult to get around
