Bushmills Distillery
“ The Bushmills distillery has had its fair share of visitors these past few hundred years, now over 120,000 each year (and that’s not counting our resident ghost, The Grey Lady). And of all the living souls I have encountered, every one of them leaves with a smile on their face and a spring in their step, mind you, that might just be from the fumes as we hand craft our Bushmills.
So why not experience it yourself and be transported into a world that hasn’t changed much since we first opened our doors way back.” (Just 'click' the link to visit a very 'different' type of website!?)
