An anniversary edition from Bushmills that was released in 2008 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the original license to distil in Bushmills. It is unique for Bushmills whiskey for including malt whiskey that was made from crystal malt. This was a very limited release and was scored very highly by critics at the time. Both the bottle and gift box are in very good condition.  Bushmills Distillery, located in Northern Ireland can trace its roots back to 1608 when the area was given a special license to distil by King James I. The current distillery dates from 1784, although it may have operated illegally before that. Bushmills has had numerous owners over the years with Proximo Spirits, the owners of Jose Cuervo Tequila, now holding the keys to this famous whiskey brand. 2023 saw the biggest change in decades with the construction of the new ‘Causeway Distillery’ still house. This will double the production and all the spirit made will be used for the Bushmills brands. There have been many great and memorable whiskeys released over the years and the recent Causeway Collection bottlings have reminded us of the potential the distillery has to make exceptional whiskey.
