Bushmills distillery is located in Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, owned by Proximo Spirits. Born in 1608, Bushmills is considered the oldest licenced distillery in the world. Along the north coast of Ireland, where arctic storms rage against the jagged cliffs, Bushmills is named for the mills that made the barley and the River Bush, which remains the water source to cut their whiskey to proof today. For over 400 years, Bushmills continues to distil malted barley and is the only Irish distillery still using malted barley in all its whiskeys.
