Old Bushmills Distillery
Tour the World's Oldest Licensed Whiskey Distillery
Old Bushmills Distillery
The tour of Old Bushmills Distillery will give you an insight into the history and craft of producing fine Irish whiskey. The Government granted the license in 1608, making Bushmills the first. Although illegal or pre-licensed production began in Ireland in the early 1400s – this would suggest that Ireland is whiskey's birthplace.
Essential to all whiskeys is the water quality; The River Bush contributory supplies the distillery with water that has trickled over beds of basalt rock. The same material has created Giant's Causeway's amazing geology. Learn about the method and how prohibition and the partition of Ireland almost brought it all to an end. Now, Irish whiskey is fashionable again and tastes better than ever.
Make a private visit of Bushmills Irish Whiskey Distillery as part of a day trip from Belfast that includes Giant's Causeway, The Dark Hedges and Dunluce Castle or as an element of a grand tour of Ireland.
