Along the rugged north coast of Northern Ireland, just beyond the legendary Giant’s Causeway, sits the Old Bushmills Distillery—the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, steeped in history, Irish folklore, and ghostly tales. In this episode, Aaron Sagers takes you inside Old Bushmills Distillery, where he received a warm (and whiskey-filled) welcome from Julie Dixon, Visitor Centre Supervisor.

As part of Aaron's Spooky Travels exploration of Ireland, he explores the mysteries of Bushmills, from the haunting legend of the Grey Lady ghost to the fairy lore woven into the distillation process of Irish whiskey. Hear firsthand how centuries-old superstitions still influence whiskey-making today, plus a few Irish toasts and rituals you’ll want to remember for your next dram.

So grab a glass, settle in by the fire, and join Aaron for a journey into the spirits—both spectral and liquid—of Bushmills Distillery.
