Old Bushmills is universally acknowledged as the oldest licensed distillery in the world. It is thought that distilling may have begun on the site as early as the thirteenth century. Records have shown that whiskey was distilled, and consumed, much earlier than 1608. Sir Robert Savage, landlord of the town of Bushmills, was known to have fortified his troops with "aqua vitae" (whiskey?) in 1276. And the Book of Leinster accounts a feast in the town of Bushmills in 1490 where the local spirit helped to "down the food." James I granted the initial license to Sir Thomas Phillips, a local landowner, in 1608. The Bushmills distillery is located on the edge of the town of Bushmills in Country Antrim, about an hour's drive north of Belfast and a short distance from the coast, two miles from the Giant's Causeway, described as the eighth natural wonder of the world. The position for the distillery was especially well suited, standing on the banks of St Columb's Rill, a local stream, that flows over peaty ground and into the River Bush, and which still provides the distillery with its fresh water supplies today.
