Talk:Old Bushmills Distillery

message: There was a comment that "all of the whisky bearing the Bushmill's name is distilled at the Bushmill's distillery".  However, from visiting Ireland, I found that some "grain whiskey" used in Bushmills is distilled at the New Middleton distillery in Cork.  Irish Distillers was the owner of Bushmills and all Irish whiskey before the brand was sold to Diageo.  I've found other sources https://www.alcademics.com/2014/01/distillery-visit-bushmills-in-ireland.html.  Also https://www.irishtimes.com/business/the-sober-strategy-behind-sale-of-bushmills-1.453861 states "Under Diageo, Bushmills will be without access to Pernod's Midleton-based grain distillery for the product needed to make its blended whiskey.
Diageo declined to comment on any aspect of the deal, citing confidentiality agreements with Pernod. But a Pernod spokesman told The Irish Times that while there was as yet no supply agreement, one would have to be hammered out "in due course".
"It is in the interests of both companies to reach agreement because, as is common in the industry, malts and grains distilled by one company are supplied to others for making blended whiskeys, as in Scotland," he said."
An expansion of the Bushmill's distillery is underway which may change this, but it isn't the case as yet.  
So, confidentiality agreements keep it quiet, but Bushmills is, in part, distilled in Cork, at least the white label and Black Bush.Wiredrabbit (talk) 19:43, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Cleanup is seriously needed here. Parts of it read like a brochure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilbeggan_Distillery states that kilbeggan/lockes distillery is the oldest licensed distillery in the world. which would be correct. perhaps a clarification is needed on the bushmills page that the 1608 is not related to the current distillery apart from the fact its in the same area.
as it stands there may be cause for some confusion. both distilleries claim to be the oldest in the world.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.102.70 (talk) 19:09, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not really interested in getting into an edit-dispute over the 12-year-malt, but the last time I was at the distillery, it was available for sale there.  My understanding is that it is always available at Bushmills, but nowhere else.  So, the line about 150 bottles being made and sold in Germany is confusing to me.  Anyway, I don't have any sources, just my own visits, but something to think about.  Anyone been there recently?  Cheers, PaddyM 14:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. I was there several years ago and I could have sworn myself they had the 12 year old for sale there as an only get it at the distillery piece but I thought my memory was faulty. If you are also saying the same from a visit then we're likely as not not both at fault. I'll re-instate it then. Ben W Bell talk 15:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Removed the entry about the 1 of 300 bottles.  I can't give an exact number, but I know for certain 48 bottles came just to the state of Wyoming and 12 came to my store itself, so I really can't believe the accuracy of the 300 statement. 72.175.255.61 (talk) 21:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: At the end of the History section, a claim is made that production has been increased recently "... in contrast to the serious neglect that the brand suffered during its time under Irish Distillers, during which the whiskey stocks at Bushmills were severely decreased in order to increase the market share of Jameson". This could well be true, but is defamatory if not. Can someone please add a reference for this ASAP, or else it will be removed. Fmph (talk) 07:55, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

In various Jack Higgins novels, beginning with The Eagle Has Landed, Bushmills is Liam Devlin's preferred drink.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:3E47:CD00:641E:2EC5:9F4A:60BD (talk) 22:37, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
