Bushmills Distillery

The Old Bushmills Distillery is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. It is owned by drinks giant Diageo. Bushmills is produced, matured, and bottled on site at the Bushmills Distillery in Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

History

Originally called “Uisce Beatha” ('Water of Life' in Irish), the name was found difficult to pronounce by English speakers and was shortened to 'uisce'. Through time the name was eventually anglicised to whiskey. Despite a lack of historical evidence, it is believed that troops of King Henry II enjoyed the taste of Bushmills some 400 years before the brewery became officially licensed in 1608 by King James I. In 1784 the Bushmills Distillery became an officially registered company. From 1740 to 1910 Irish emigrants to the USA spread the word of Bushmills, and it soon became a huge success at international spirit and whiskey competitions. Despite its production by a British-based company in Northern Ireland, it is sold internationally as an Irish whiskey.

Bushmills whiskey range

  • Bushmills Original - Blend of single malt Irish whiskey and Irish grain whiskey. The grain whiskey is matured in American oak casks
  • Black Bush - A blend comprised mostly of single malt. Selected Spanish Oloroso sherry-seasoned oak casks mature the malt, before it is blended with delicate sweet single grain whiskey.
  • Bushmills 10 year single malt - Distilled three times and made from 100 malted barley. Matured in American bourbon barrels for at least 10 years.
  • Bushmills 16 year single malt - Matured for 16 years or more in a combination of American bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts.
  • Bushmills 21 year single malt - A limited amount of 21 year bottles are made each year, and are distilled in 3 different types of cask: firstly in American bourbon barrels and secondly in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Together it will total 21 years in these casks, where it may lie in Madeira drums until bottling.
