Bushmills & The Giant’s Causeway

1 Day

Monday 16th March

Overview

Join the Irish Whiskey Experiences team for a day of spectacular single malts at the Giant of Irish whiskey, the Old Bushmills Distillery.

The Causeway Coastal Route, beginning in Belfast and finishing in Derry is a journey lined with ancient castles, towering cliffs, wild coastlines and stunning scenery spanning 115 miles, but most importantly it is home to the oldest licensed distillery in the world – Bushmills.

We’ll be going behind the scenes of the Causeway Distillery, named after the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Giant’s Causeway, which officially opened in April 2023, enabling Bushmills to more than double their production capacity to approximately 11 million litres per year, solely producing their award-winning single malt whiskey.

Not only will we have behind the scenes access to this engineering marvel, we’ll meet the woman who helped bring the project to life, Master Blender Alex Thomas, as well as sipping on several stunning single malts.

We’ll enjoy a x2 course lunch at the iconic Bushmills Inn before heading to the Giant’s Causeway for a ‘whiskey on the rocks’ – literally. We heard if you say ‘Bushmills’ x3 times a special pour appears from the rocks…

I want to join the experience, but can I just meet you at the distillery?

You certainly can, however the cost of the trip remains the same as ultimately Irish Whiskey Experiences are still responsible for providing transport for other guests.

I can no longer make the trip, can I cancel?

Guests may cancel their trip at any time before its commencement but it’s important to note that the initial trip deposit is refundable only if the trip is canceled within 30 days of payment of initial deposit.
There are no refunds of further payments due to inability to travel or cancellation for any reason.
We strive to provide a fair and transparent refund policy, ensuring that customers have the opportunity to make informed decisions and manage their travel plans with flexibility within the specified timeframes.
We recommend taking out trip insurance that will cover any unforeseen costs outside of the above timeframes.
