Weekend break: Co Antrim

Leslie Williams experiences Ireland’s oldest distillery – Bushmills in Antrim. Plus he visits the top tourist sites along the way.

With all the fervent activity in the spirits market in Ireland with new gins and whiskies being launched every week, it is easy to forget about the older players.

So I jumped at the chance to spend a couple of days on the North Antrim coast visiting Bushmills, Ireland’s oldest distillery.
