The Bushmills Original is produced by the Bushmills, a distillery so important for the Northern-Irish industry that its image was included in the new banknotes of this country as a tribute to its 400 years of existence. In 2010, this whiskey was the winner of multiple awards which testify of its high quality. Since 1608, when King James I gave the founder Sir Thomas Phillips the license to distillate, this company has not stopped sharing with the world a bit of its cultural tradition. More than whiskey, each bottle of Bushmills contains a bit of the richness and traditions of its home region.

The Producer
Old Bushmills Distillery
Bushmill's history starts in 1608, when King James I. granted Sir Thomas Phillips - landowner and Governor of Antrum - a license to distill. In 1784 the distillery is registered and the Pot Still becomes its trademark. The first big difference adds in the 1850's, when a malt tax is introduced. Because of this tax many distilleries changed their recipes, while Bushmill's didn't. The brand was unstoppable, although many obstacles - such as a big fire, prohibition and World War II - made life hard and decreased or even stopped production for a while.

- Grain whiskey reserved for Bushmills is aged a minimum of five years in oak casks that are specially selected to bring out the golden hue and light. When mature this grain whiskey is blended with a single malt whiskey to balance the flavour.
- The malt used in Bushmills mash derives its clean taste from the deliberate absence of peat used in the barley drying process. Irish whiskey distilleries kiln-dry their malt in a heat-fired, not peat-fired, oven. Lighter, no smoke and perfectly balanced, Bushmills is triple distilled for exceptional smoothness.
