Bushmills Distillery is a fabulous location to tour if you're a fan of whiskey or not! The Home of Bushmills Whiskey - the old Bushmills Distillery was granted a licence by King James 1 in 1608 to distill whiskey - hence its special 1608 bottle. It is considered one of the oldest distillery in the world due to this license and it is in fine company with other distilleries around Ireland for the name of the oldest distillery in the world.
If you're tempted by a bushmills factory tour - we can highly recommend it. The video above shows the bar just off the Bushmills Distillery Shop where gifts are sold. why not consider a tour of distilleries in Ireland - there would be worst ways to spend a few days! :-)
All of the whiskey that is bottled under the Bushmills name is produced at the Bushmills Distillery and it uses water drawn from Saint Columb's Rill which is a tributary of the River Bush. At first, people might think that it is weird for people to visit this place as a touristic destination, but since it is considered one of the oldest distilleries in the world, the reason is then understood.
The date that resembles the foundation of the Bushmills Distillery sometimes confuses people because the date written on the bottles is 1608 but in fact the company that founded this brand originated in 1784 - actually 1608 refers to the date when a royal license was granted to a local landowner to distill whiskey in the area. During the long history of the distillery, it passed through some disclosures because it has been in continuous operation since it was rebuilt after the fire in 1885.
So, there are different reasons why we believe that this place is considered a good visit for both, those who are whiskey fans as well as those who are not. The history of this place is one reason for it being a good recommended place, starting from the time Thomas Philips - the landowner and Governor of Co. Antrim was given a license to distill, until these days when the musical events might take place in the Bushmills Distillery, such as the one that was held in 2012.
Settled on the banks of the river, the Bushmills Distillery is found in a small village for over 400 years; this small village believes that hand crafting small batches is the way to produce beautifully smooth tasting Irish Whiskey - and that is exactly where this whiskey brand that people love was first born and is still found.
There are different tours done inside the Bushmills Distillery and there are also some tasting experiences which people could go through; that's just one of the different things that make this place different and a place that people could actually visit and enjoy.
There are different whiskey types served and sold by the Bushmills, such as the classic whiskey type which is the original one, the Black Bush which is matured in Sherry Casks, the Single Malt whiskey that comes in three different types; the 10 Year Bushmills, the 16 Year, and the 21 Year.
Since we are referring to those drinks in Northern Ireland then it is important to share with you some of the experiences which we have gone through and which we intended to do to bring different recommendations for our people. In Belfast city centre, we got the chance to visit The Spaniard place where we knew how to prepare the dark and stormy cocktail that is mainly made out of dark rum and which we totally recommend (

In addition to that, we have been to Lakeside Bar & Grill in County Fermanagh where we were introduced to Steve the bartender who was there to assist us with the different recipes he usually prepares for his visitors. The cocktails we got the chance to learn more about included the cosmopolitan cocktail (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWHXY_7MLNk), we also got introduced to the brandy Alexander cocktail recipe (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1TeQkKYSYc), we knew that they serve the boatyard double gin (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjEFNtL8yOI) as well as the Irish brand beer called Inish Mac Saint (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTHcoz8TU9k) at their place, and we also knew more about the whiskey snapper mix (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm6-tnv6jic).
We could actually say that going to bars and other places in which we could learn to prepare different cocktails and at the same time get the chance to taste them is always considered an interesting thing, especially if we will pass over our recommendations at the end to our fans.

Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
