The Causeway Collection hits the right flavour notes for someone who knows their whiskey craft. The Causeway Collection of rare, limited edition Irish single malt releases is inspired by the natural wonder and mythical tales of the UNESCO World Heritage site the Giant’s Causeway.

Just a stone’s throw from Old Bushmills Distillery the Giant’s Causeway has been a source of inspiration to Bushmills’ Master Distillers for centuries. The Causeway’s extraordinary hexagonal columns, each unique but perfectly locked together, much like the unique and extremely rare casks of Irish single malt selected to create The Causeway Collection.

Bushmills rich heritage in craftmanship and storytelling inspired George the Poet (pictured above) to write ‘Singular Tales’, an ode to Bushmills and the joy of sharing stories whilst enjoying an award winning Irish single malt.
