Found on county Antrim's rugged coastline, the village of Bushmills® is home to the Old Bushmills distillery. Official records stretch back to 1608, when the area was granted its license to distil. Over 400 years later, whiskey is still being made in Bushmills, thanks to experience and craft passed down from generation to generation. We couldn't make our whiskey anywhere but here. Our water, drawn from the river bush, flows over beds of basalt rock. Bushmills is more than just a whiskey. It's a village, where family, friends and neighbours work side by side at the distillery. As we often say, "without the village, there would be no whiskey, and without the whiskey, there would be no village".
