Mediocre tour, corporate and dull. Then no ability for drivers to take their “free” whiskey away with them. Very poor value for money.

We had a great time in the Distillery, our guide Joe made the tour really interesting with his knowledge and sense of humour! We really enjoyed it, the whisky tasting at the end is a great addition as well, would really recommend this tour 👍🏼

My favourite distillery in Northern Ireland))) Ok, My favourite Irish whiskey ever! Especially when you get here, to the distillery you completely understand the traditions and greatness of Bushmills whiskey. Unfortunately it is not allowed to take photos inside (like in most of the Scottish distilleries) but the emotions and taste you will remember forever) I wish I could buy more whiskey with me after (. Never be greedy).

We attended the tour on the shortest day this year. The tour was informative and presented by the lovely Tim. Unfortunately the plant was in a shutdown before Christmas which we were not informed of, therefore a very limited tour. Had we been informed of this when booking, we would have chosen another time to visit. I'm a true fan of the brand and have been for many years, this was my first visit to the distillery. They told itself was very informative, as I've said and presented very well by the guide. He was a fountain of knowledge and answered all my questions with great detail, you could tell that this gentleman had a true passion for the creation of this fine Irish Whiskey.
