Bushmills Black Bush 80/20 is a premium expression of the world-renowned Irish whiskey brand, specifically crafted for the global travel retail market. This unique blend features 80% malt whiskey finished in hand-selected Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry casks, resulting in a deep, caramelised raisin profile that differentiates it from the standard core range. It is produced at the historic Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, which holds an iconic status as the world's oldest licensed whiskey distillery, dating its heritage back to 1608.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Northern Ireland's heritage, its ownership has transitioned through major global spirits conglomerates over the years. Currently, the brand is owned by Proximo Spirits, a company headquartered in the United States and controlled by the Beckmann family (owners of Jose Cuervo). This complex lifecycle—from traditional Irish distilling methods to international ownership—ensures that Bushmills remains a prominent fixture on the global stage while maintaining its local manufacturing roots in Ireland.
