Secrets of the River Bush

The Bushmills® 46 year old is the oldest single malt ever released from the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. It pays homage to the River Bush, which has flowed through our story for over 415 years.

Its water is at the heart of every drop of Bushmills® Irish Whiskey, dating back to 1608. Without it, there would be no Bushmills®. We couldn’t make our whiskey anywhere else.

 

(46.3% ABV - 92.6 Proof)

Shipping is available only in the United States excluding AL, AK, AR, HI, MA, MI, MS, TN, and UT.
