Bushmills Distillery

Ebimisami: 22.09.2022

The last day in Ireland is quickly told, it's raining in the morning (and all day) so we spontaneously booked the ferry to Scotland for the day after tomorrow and drove to Derry, Londonderry on a well-developed road. Not because the city appealed to us, but because it was the shortest way to Northern Ireland's north coast.

The exit from the EU and the entry into the United Kingdom? If the navigation system hadn't shown the border and the gas station price hadn't changed from € to £, we wouldn't have noticed anything.

On the way, you always look at the place names. Bushmills hmm, there was something


Old distillery, visitable, there are even appointments available, okay, eating something beforehand would certainly not be a bad idea.



Their slogan is

Many of the old buildings are still standing and are still in use today, here's the warehouse.

Some landmarks of good old England

We're going in, old copper kettles

The bottling plant

Fun fact. After school, I worked for a good six months in a company that produced packaging and bottling systems. What do you think is written on one of the machines?

Company Kettner Garching near Munich So it's very possible that nearly 40 years ago I laid my hands on one of the machines that is still used to bottle and package Bushmills Whiskey today.


The distillery has 650,000 barrels of its own


finally there is a tasting

Trying to steal some barrels
