Excursion Bushmills distillery & whiskey tasting tour at Portree

Take a pleasant guided tour of the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, Old Bushmills. Granted its license in 1608 by King James I, the distillery has continuously produced whiskey for almost 400 years.

After tendering ashore to Portrush, board your coach, and in the company of your local guide head off along the Antrim coast, driving 30 minutes to arrive at the Bushmills Distillery.

During your guided tour, discover the secrets of crafting the renowned whiskey, involving special water from St. Columb's Rill, malted Irish barley, triple distillation in copper stills and aging for many years in oak casks. Afterwards, taste their famous whiskey as you relax at the Distillery bar.

Re-join your coach and guide for the return drive to Portrush and your ship waiting in the bay.
