MCLEANSCOTLAND the number one whisky tour operator in Scotland, have just returned from Northern Ireland, taking time to visit Bushmills.  As guests of the Irish Tourist Board, MCLEANSCOTLAND enjoyed a travel workshop in Belfast on the Thursday, followed by a civic reception and wee party! Friday saw them travelling north along the coast of Antrim in company with other travel agents from Europe and Australia.  As a special visit  Paul and Liz enjoyed their time at Bushmills guide by Niall, who was excellent.  Leaving with a much better understanding of Bushmills, a shirt and two bottles of the famous 1608 – distilled to commemorate 400 years of whiskey at the site!

 And ooo, what a dram it is, special indeed.

Notes of almond, saddle leather. Rich flavors of caramel cocoa and malted barley, honey and cream. Finish; malty butter and absolutely nice.”  Its a blend of three different whiskies – malt, grain whiskey and a third said to be a malt produced from crystal malt. 46% ABV  I am keeping the bottle for myself, sorry!  While at the distillery, they chatted to staff about tours coming in and what special treats and special tours could be arranged. So if you are looking for an Irish whiskey tour that includes the Bushmills range, with a special tasting, then contact Paul at info@mcleanscotland.com
