About Bushmills Irish
Bushmills comes from the Old Bushmills Distillery in the village of Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, which was granted its license to distill back in 1608 and is widely recognized as the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. Like most Irish whiskey, Bushmills is triple distilled, a step that gives the spirit its famously light and approachable character. The distillery draws its water from Saint Columb’s Rill, a stream near the Giant’s Causeway, and has been handing the craft down through generations of distillers. That long history is part of what makes it a classic name to reach for when you want something gentle and dependable.
Tasting Notes
Irish whiskey in this style is known for being soft, smooth, and very drinkable. Expect a light body with mellow notes of honey, vanilla, and a touch of orchard fruit, plus the clean, rounded finish that triple distillation is known for. It is an inviting whiskey that goes down easy, whether you are new to the category or a longtime fan.
What to Pair It With
Bushmills is wonderful neat, on a large cube, or in a classic cocktail. It also makes a friendly after-dinner sip in our 21+ lounge.
