Join me for My Bushmills Chat with Les Duthie.

Les Duthie was the Bushmills Distillery manager from the early 70's until the mid-90's.

He is 92 yrs young and has a memory like an elephant. I went and sat with Les at his home in Bushmills village, a mere stone's throw from Bushmills Distillery.

He grew up in Glasgow and entered into the drinks industry in the 1950's, where he spent his entire career, ending up as Distillery Manager in Bushmills during a pivotal point in Irish history - The Troubles.

This was a privilege to sit and chat with Les and I expect you will learn as much from him as I did.

Thank you to his daughter Shirley and also to Adrian McLoughlin from The Harbourview Whiskey Hotel in Carnlough for facilitating this chat.
