THE BRAND
Bushmills is the oldest licensed distillery in the world since 1608. Located a stone’s throw from the north Irish coast, Bushmills is also a village where friends, neighbours, families work at the distillery. With a triple distillation of barley, Bushmills stocks its whiskies in a wide variety of barrels from different backgrounds while retaining the Irish character of the whiskey. Water is drawn from the nearby Bush River. As the Master Home Distiller stresses, "We are not good because we are old, we are old because we are good". Thus, it is clear that Bushmills is an integral part of the global spirits landscape.
