Bushmills Not Just a Distillery

Back by ferry to Northern Ireland. On to Old Bushmills Distillery the oldest distillery in the world (of course with some caveats). Licenced in 1608. One of two distilleries to survive Ireland’s war for independence, America’ prohibition and blended of Irish whiskey with no rules.

Bushmills is also the name of the Northern Ireland village. From the Old Bushmills Distillery website: “Without the village there would be no whiskey, and without the whiskey there would be no village.”
