About Bushmiils
Bushmills Irish Whiskey, one of the world’s oldest distilleries, traces its roots back to 1608, when Sir Thomas Phillips was granted a license to distill in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The Bushmills Old Distillery, established in 1784, has continuously produced whiskey, earning a reputation for quality and craftsmanship.
The distillery’s signature style, characterized by a triple distillation process, results in a smooth, light whiskey, a distinct feature of Irish whiskey. Despite facing numerous challenges, including Prohibition in the United States and periods of economic hardship, the brand has remained resilient. In 2005, Diageo acquired the distillery, further bolstering its global presence.
Today, the Bushmills Irish Whiskey range includes whiskeys such as Bushmills Black Bush, a 10 Year Old, and a 16 Year Old. The brand also produces limited edition cask finish expressions as well as high-age single malts.
