#OTD in 1608 – Sir Thomas Phillipps was granted a license by James I to the Old Bushmills distillery in Co Antrim, which is thought to date from at least 1276 – the oldest distillery in the world.
Uisce beatha is the name for whiskey in the Irish language. The word “whiskey” itself is simply an anglicised version of this phrase, stemming from a mispronunciation of the word uisce. This may in turn have influenced the Modern Irish word fuisce (“whiskey”). The phrase uisce beatha, literally “water of life”, was the name given by Irish monks of the early Middle Ages to distilled alcohol. It is…

Dunluce Castle
flickr
Dunluce Castle by FotoFling Scotland Via Flickr: Dunluce Castle is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland, the seat of Clan MacDonnell. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim (between Portballintrae and Portrush), and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland. The castle is surrounded by extremely steep drops on either side, which may have been an important factor to the early Christians and Vikings who were drawn to this place where an early Irish fort once stood.

Irish Single Malt 1989 27 year old for Auld Alliance.
Fulfilling syrupy malty Irish. Rich cereal note and olive oil, floating chemical peach aroma. Typical Irish fragrance. With quite oily mouthfeel, gooey passion fruits and syrupy malty flavor. Malty with covering oil then touch of dry mango, gooey syrupy sweet with dry woodiness remains longly. Rich Irish.

John saved my spirit. My ferry from Cairnryan, Scotland landed in Larne, Northern Ireland where I headed to Belfast for a few days. Once I got my bearings, I followed the coastline North! This is a famous route in Northern Ireland called the Causeway Coastal Route. I grabbed a screenshot of a map I found so y’all can see what it looks like. The ride from Belfast to Bushmills should’ve only taken 2 hours, but several locals warned me about black ice on the road ahead so this took twice as long. I super slowed down, didn’t lean and was hyper focused on the paths I chose. It was so scary. My choices of paths were as follows: On a two lane road, the third of the lane in the middle was too icy and slippery as no car tires drove over it. The third of the lane closest to the shoulder was iciest, but theoretically safest because I would just crash into the big grass berm and barbed wire fencing along farmer’s land (lol that the barbed wire was safest). Lastly, I liked the third of the lane closest to the center divider line most since that was most melted, but I worried as I could slip on a hidden patch and slide into oncoming traffic. So you can see why my anxiety heightened due to riding in these conditions. On top of all this, the day was warmest at 32F or 0C with rain/snow pouring down the last hour of my ride. Miserable Crystal. Upon the 3 hr 55 minutes mark, the duration of the misery really started to sink in. Have you ever done something so miserable, you questioned why you were doing it at all? Yeah, I reached my limit. Just as I was about to start breaking down in tears, my GPS directions told me I had arrived and to turn into John’s driveway. He greeted me and the first thing I said to him was “I’m really miserable.” John is a fellow rider I found on Couchsurfing so he knew exactly what I meant. Without saying anything, he unloaded all my dirty black ice muddied bags off my bike, had a warm bottle waiting for me, put my soaked gear to dry on the heaters and fed me tea and loaded me with food and snacks for the next 6 hours. And that’s how my experience with Northern Ireland people began. So grateful. #chasingcrystal #northernireland #bushmills (at Northern Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0Nro8P1bR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On September 29, 2013, a massive crowd gathered at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA for a special screening of the series finale of Breaking Bad. Boosted by Aaron Paul as a fundraising campaign for his wife Lauren’s anti-bullying nonprofit, the Kind Campaign, the event ended up raising an estimated $2 million. 📽️💰
While I sadly wasn’t in attendance that night, I was recently lucky enough to acquire this Breaking Bad/Bushmills commemorative throw blanket from a VIP guest who was!

Northern Ireland: Bushmills
Bushmills. This is the name of the town, of the inn, and of the distillery. No, I’m not sure which was named first. It was quite a change going from the big city of Belfast and a skyscraper hotel to the quant and comfortable Bushmills Inn. Bushmills was booked for us by Wilderness Ireland and might have been our favorite place to stay in Ireland; the rooms are nice, the staff is great, and the…
