BUSHMILLS IS spreading a little Irish cheer in the New Year with the offer a free whiskey to drinkers old and new over in the US.
The “First Whiskey of 2021” initiative has been put together in the hope of raising spirits – in every sense of the word.
It’s a simple enough idea: Bushmills will cover the cost of a glass of whiskey from your local pub or bar of choice. When the time is right, of course.
This simple friendly Irish gesture is about ensuring the 400-year-old spirit makers can help people across the US see in the new year with what will hopefully be the first of many toasts.
Whether ordered in person or via takeaway or delivery, the only request is that you make it a Bushmills.
In order to redeem this offer whiskey lovers old and new over the age of 21 need to purchase a Bushmills Irish Whiskey, pour or cocktail from a favorite local bar or restaurant.
Then take a photo of the itemised receipt displaying the purchase of Bushmills and upload the receipt here.
Valid receipts will receive a reimbursement of up to $6.00 (paid via Venmo, Paypal or Amazon) on purchases from January 1 through March 18, 2021, in participating U.S. states.
All of the Official terms and conditions can be found here.
Bushmills' #FirstWhiskey program comes at a time when bars, pubs and restaurants across the US and far beyond need the help and support of customers more than ever.
With 400 years of whiskey-making experience under their belts, Bushmills knows a thing or two about the industry and the importance of showing loyalty to the venues, bar staff and owners who have given so much to customers down the years.
In addition to this programme, Bushmills has previously made a $200,000 donation to the USBG Foundation's Bartender Emergency Assistance Program.
The Irish whiskey giant is planning to continue its support for U.S. organizations that provide relief to those affected by the current crisis.
Like the distillation of a good whiskey, getting back to normality may take some time but it will be worth the wait when it does finally arrive.
Bushmills' First Whiskey program is not available in some states and does not include tax or tip. To find out more, visit Bushmills.
My favorite Irish whiskey. Looking forward to this.
anyone ever hear of Tullamoor Dew?
The Irish and Brits make incredible spirits. Japanese have picked up the craft too. American whiskey has more ballz imho. A bit hotter and harder hitting. A tour of the Jack Daniels or Jim Beam is worthwhile if you’re in whiskey country.
Lol. I knew the potato thing was wrong the moment I hit post.
“Jameson’s is nice too.”
Nice? Nectar of the gods! :)
bfl
I use it to clean carburetor parts.
I’ve had it. Its not bad.
... or the Bourbon Trail, if you’re in Kentucky.
At a minimum, a tour of the Woodford Reserve distillery.
LOL! And Canadian whiskey is made from mooses!
>>Jameson’s is nice too.
Indeed. Bushmill’s is Protestant whiskey. :)
Kinda like giving out free snow shovels in the Bahamas.........LOL!
Bushmills: Wishing you a pot o’ gold, and all the joy your heart can hold... Thanks from the little people...
Now that's something AOC could get behind....smirk.
The smaller family run stills have more personality. Such an amazing business and history.
Poor people of Alaska where a draft beer costs more than $6 - don’t ask about hard liquor ...
Most American whiskies are of the bourbon or rye varieties, with certain requirements as to the percentage of corn or rye in the respective types. Bourbon must be 51% corn, IIRC - the remainder is some combination of rye, barley or wheat. Bourbon must be aged in a newly-made American oak cask with a charred interior.
The big difference is the blend of grains used, as well as the types of casks used to age it.
:(
The irish pubs in San Francisco won’t be participating.
