Ulster whiskey

Ulster holds a storied place in Irish distilling history, anchored on the Antrim coast by Bushmills, known for triple-distilled single malt matured in bourbon, oloroso sherry and fortified wine casks.

The province has expanded with new distilling ventures across Northern Ireland, including Hinch in County Down, Killowen in the Mourne Mountains crafting small-batch pot still whiskey and peated spirit, and single malts such as The Sexton.
