Irish whiskey has, for centuries, been duking it out with Scotch whisky for bragging rights as to where the water of life or uisce beatha, as it’s known in Gaelic, was first distilled. Whoever got there first, whiskey has been made in Ireland for a very long time, possibly as far back as the 12th century. Which makes it even more impressive that Bushmills, the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery — dating back to 1608 — is issuing Secrets of the River Bush. Aged for 46 years, it’s the longest-aged Irish single malt ever released.
