Antrim whisky limited releases

About this listAntrim

County Antrim is in Northern Ireland, and every release on this list comes from the Old Bushmills Distillery in Bushmills, County Antrim, which is owned by Proximo Spirits. The company was established in 1784, while the 1608 on its labels refers to an earlier royal licence granted to Sir Thomas Phillips, and in April 2023 Bushmills opened a second distillery, the Causeway Distillery. Bushmills 21 Year Old is made in limited numbers each year, aged about 19 years in casks that held Oloroso sherry and bourbon and then finished for two years in Madeira wine casks. Bushmills 25 Year Old is a small batch single malt that, after initial maturation in bourbon barrels and sherry butts, is finished for 21 years in first-fill ruby port pipes and bottled at 46% ABV. The Causeway Collection, crafted by master blender Helen Mulholland and launched in December 2020, is a range of rare cask finished single malts named after the Giant's Causeway, with its first ten releases sold in nine different countries. Its first UK release, the 2001 Feuillette Cask, ran to only 168 bottles at 49% ABV, so each Causeway bottling is small and tied to particular markets.
