About Old BushmillsNorthern Ireland
Old Bushmills Distillery is in the village of Bushmills in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. In 1608 King James I granted Sir Thomas Phillips a licence to distil, and the Bushmills Old Distillery Company was established in 1784 by Hugh Anderson. A fire destroyed the original buildings in 1885 and the distillery was rebuilt. It passed from Irish Distillers to Pernod Ricard in 1988 and to Diageo in 2005, and in November 2014 Diageo traded the brand to Proximo Spirits. Its whiskey is triple distilled from 100% malted barley in copper pot stills, and limited releases include the yearly 21 year old single malt, the Causeway Collection of single casks and the Private Reserve and Rare Cask series.
