Granted a license to distill in 1608, Bushmills is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world.
Along the north coast of Ireland, where arctic storms rage against the jagged cliffs and where the crisp waters of the River Bush cut through volcanic rock, generations have passed down an ancient distilling tradition.

Discover our
craft
For over 400 years, we've carried on an ancient whiskey tradition. Generations have passed down a handcrafted art, triple-distilling our “smooth and mellow” whiskeys.
Visit us today, just a few miles from Ireland’s rugged north coast, and see how we continue to triple distill 100% malted barley in copper pot stills to make a pure malt whiskey.
