I can recommend the guided tour through the interesting and charming distillery, although it seems small compared to others. But the output of 9 million liters with about 100 employees is already remarkable. During the visit in summer 2024, another building was being constructed. An entrance fee of 9 euros was worth it for me. By the way, the village of Bushmills is chic, Dunluce Castle and the Giant's Causeway are just around the corner, which are already worth a detour.

The Old Bushmills Distillery is perhaps the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world β its license dates back to 1608. It was officially founded in 1784 by Hugh Anderson in the Northern Irish town of Bushmills. Since then, Bushmills has stood for traditionally triple-distilled, smooth Irish whiskey. Today, the distillery is one of Ireland's best-known names, combining centuries-old craftsmanship with a distinctive taste.

A natural wonder! After a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago, the basalt lava contracted as it cooled. The shrinkage caused vertical stress cracks. Through uniform pull from all sides, almost perfect hexagons were formed when it cracked open. The approximately 40,000 basalt columns (some up to 12 m high!) are predominantly hexagonal.
