by Originally granted a licence to distill way back in 1608, it wasn’t until 1784 a whiskey distillery eventually started at the site.
A fire in the building (an occupational hazard in distilleries) prompted an 1885 rebuild which still stands today as part of the ever expanding complex of buildings in County Antrim, part of Northern Ireland.
Bushmills today produces a popular range of blends,
A selection of age statement single malts,
and under current owners, Mexican drinks giant Jose Cuervo, a travel retail exclusive range of cask finished single malts.
Bushmills distillate also forms the basis of many third party blends & brands.
At one time Bushmills was one of only 2 distilleries on the island of Ireland. Both of them owned by the Irish Distillers Group.
Thankfully those lean years have gone and Irish Whiskey is expanding.
Casks Away looks forward to taking you to the very North of Northern Ireland to visit this wonderful distillery, as well as the nearby Giant’s Causeway!
