The story behind it

The maker

Bushmills was granted its original license to distil in 1608 by King James I, cementing its place in spirits history in County Antrim. For over four centuries, the distillery has maintained a dedication to triple-distilling single malt Irish whiskey using pure water from the Saint Colum's Rill.

How it is made

Crafted at the Old Bushmills Distillery, which is the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery. The recipe for Black Bush combines an unusually high proportion of malt whiskey matured in Sherry casks with light Irish grain whiskey.

From County Antrim, Northern Ireland
