Discover our craft

Over 400 years later, whiskey is still being made in Bushmills, thanks to experience and craft passed down from generation to generation.

Visit us today, just a few miles from Ireland’s rugged north coast, and see how we continue to triple distil 100% malted barley in copper pot stills to make single malt whiskey.
