The Glass Is Always Half Full @ Bushmills Distillery

A Legacy Poured from Century to Century @ Bushmills Distillery

The Timeless Tradition of Irish Whiskey

Nestled in the heart of County Antrim, the Old Bushmills Distillery stands as a monument to the timeless craft of Irish whiskey making. With origins dating back to a royal licence granted in 1608 by King James I to distil whiskey, this site has been home to an uninterrupted legacy of distilling for over four centuries​​​​. It is not just the oldest working distillery in Ireland but a living archive of Irish whiskey heritage.

The Bushmills Craft: A Blend of Art and Science

At Bushmills, every drop of whiskey starts with two natural blessings: the finest Irish barley and the pure, clear waters of the Saint Columb’s Rill. The mastery of turning these humble ingredients into the renowned Bushmills whiskey is both an art and a science, passed down through generations. Triple distillation in traditional copper stills and ageing in select oak casks give rise to the rich, smooth, and full-bodied flavours that the brand is celebrated for​​.

A Journey Through Time and Taste

A tour of the Bushmills Distillery is a journey not just through the physical space but through time and taste.

Witness the care taken at each stage of production, from malt to mature whiskey, ready to be bottled and savoured across the world.

Bushmills Today: Heritage Meets Modernity
