Bushmills is a
village on the north coast of County Antrim,. The village's name is
derived from the River Bush, one of Northern Ireland's main salmon
rivers. The village itself has a unique North Antrim quality and has
over 90 listed buildings. A walk along the Main Street in Bushmills
will reveal the odd shop or bar that can only be described as living
heritage.
The village is best known as the location of the Old Bushmills
Distillery, founded in 1608, which is the oldest licensed distillery
in the world. The distillery is the only Irish distillery using 100%
malted barley in its whiskies, in a range which includes Bushmills
Original, Black Bush and a range of malts, including the Bushmills
12 year old malt.
The world famous Giant's Causeway is located 2 miles (3 km) north of
the village. |
