Bushmills Prohibition Recipe

Bushmills Prohibition is a recreation of the vintage Bushmills Irish Whiskey bottle used as a prop within several Peaky Blinders episodes. It features design elements authentic to the 1920s era such as a visible cork lid and blue-tinted glass. As a product of the Shelby Company Ltd., the label showcases the family emblem alongside that of the 400-year-old distillery, which are positioned above a sketch of Tommy Shelby himself. An iconic quote, “whiskey is good proofing water, it tells you who’s real and who isn’t” adorns the back label and epitomizes the pivotal role of the drink within the show.

The whiskey itself packs a Shelby-style punch with bold, intense flavors complemented by a decadent finish. Expertly crafted by revered Master Distiller, Colum Egan to reflect distilling practices that were utilized in the earlier days of whiskey-making, Bushmills Prohibition Recipe is high-proof, non-chill filtered and aged in ex-bourbon casks. For added complexity, Egan separately aged the stock for three, four and five years before blending together to achieve a 92-proof expression that bursts with flavors of rye bread, orange marmalade, almonds, and cinnamon, finishing long and full with zesty citrus oils and vanilla bean.
