The Bushmills World’s Oldest Whiskey jug featured here dates from the 1970s. It’s one of six (not 4 as commonly believed) different versions of this whiskey jug. The diamond-shaped jug bears text on all four sides. On two sides, it showcases the words ‘Old Bushmills Irish Whiskey,’ while on the other two sides, it features the words ‘World’s Oldest Whiskey.’
The peculiar aspect of this jug lies in the stamp on the base. It reads ‘An Arklow Product, Made in England.’ None of the other jugs in our collection were manufactured in England.
