The story of Bushmills Original Irish W

Bushmills is made in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. King James I granted Sir Thomas Phillips a licence to distil in the area in 1608, the date that appears on the label, and the Old Bushmills Distillery Company itself was established in 1784 by Hugh Anderson. The distillery draws its water from Saint Columb's Rill, a tributary of the River Bush.

Original is a blend. A triple-distilled single malt is married with a lighter, aromatic grain Irish whiskey and aged for at least three years in ex-Kentucky bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. It is bottled at 40 per cent. The flavour is light and easy, with vanilla, malt and cream on the nose, then honey, citrus zest and a little banana on the palate.

That soft style makes it a natural for mixing. Try it in a tall glass with plenty of ice, soda water and a squeeze of fresh lemon, or with ginger ale. It is equally good neat or over a single large cube.
