Bushmills Irish Whiskey

Whiskey making at Bushmills draws on centuries-old distilling history, including a royal licence to distil whiskey, granted for the county of Antrim in 1608.

Today, the Old Bushmills Distillery, situated just a short drive from the Giant’s Causeway, a world heritage site, is Ireland's oldest working distillery, and the only one open to visitors.

At one time there were many hundreds of different Irish whiskeys. Over the years these have disappeared. Only Bushmills, the oldest and a handful of others have remained which is why we say “Bushmills – oldest because it is the best, not best because it is oldest.”

Another unique aspect of the Old Bushmills Distillery is that malt distilling, blending, maturation and bottling are all carried out on the same site.

Our passion for whiskey-making and our expertise in all stages of the whiskey production process are the critical factors in the quality and character of the Bushmills family of whiskeys and ensure that every bottle of Bushmills is Irish at its best.

Bushmills Original
Bushmills Original is the cornerstone of the family, a blend of own triple distilled malt whiskey with a lighter Irish grain whiskey. It is a gentle whiskey with a rich, warming taste of fresh fruit, vanilla and honey.
