Meaning and history
The Bushmills logo is a wordmark on a black background enclosed in a gold frame with a ribbon pattern. The wordmark is executed in a white bold serif, which reflects the brand’s quality and rich history, yet has a modern look.
The Bushmills label also features an embossing of both the 1608 original distillation license and the signature image of the famous Old Bushmills Distillery potstill, which tells the brand’s story and emphasizes the authenticity of Bushmills Single Malts.
