The Old Bushmills Distillery in Northern Island

The Old Bushmills Distillery is a distillery in the town of Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is owned and operated by Diageo plc, and is a popular tourist attraction, which attracts around 110,000 visitors per year. The town is near the World Heritage site of the Giants Causeway.

According to the company, a distillery by this name was first recorded in 1743, although at the time it was "in the hands of smugglers" (in a quote attributed to Victorian whiskey journalist Alfred Barnard who made a tour of various distilleries in Scotland and Ireland).
