Old Bushmills Distillery

About

Bushmills Irish Whiskey is made at the world's oldest licenced working distillery in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on the beautiful North Coast.

Our original grant to distil was signed in 1608 by King James 1st and there has been distillation on this site since then, using the unique water from our own stream and Irish barley. We are more than 400 years old.

Experience the rich aromas and full- bodied flavours of Ireland’s oldest working distillery (1608) by pre-booking one of our tutored tasting events. Choose from several options ranging from a virtual tour to an hour- long run through of our exclusive brands with our trained whiskey educators.

Please note not all our experiences are suitable for those with mobility issues and all tastings are over 18 only.

Please check our website for further details www.bushmills.com.

The Bushmills brand portfolio includes five award-winning whiskies: Bushmills Original, Black Bush, Bushmills 10 Year Single Malt, Bushmills 16 Year Single Malt and Bushmills 21 Year Single Malt. In 2017 we added Red Bush to our core range. We also have our Distillery Reserve, a 12 Year Single Malt available to taste and buy only from the Distillery. The label on this whiskey can be personalised by our Gift Shop. All our whiskies can be purchased online (for UK and Europe) at mail.order@bushmills.com. Our shop also has variations of Bushmills whiskey for sale that are not generally available.

During your tour you will see the copper potstills used to distil this special spirit. The triple-distillation is at the heart of all Bushmills whiskies and creates a unique combination of smoothness and richness.

Please note: The Distillery may not always be viewed in a full operational capacity due to varying cycles of production.
