This St Patrick's Day the small village of Bushmills on the north coast of Northern Ireland was the focus of global media attention with the launch of a global competition - ‘Make it at Bushmills’. The Bushmills Whiskey Master Distiller Colum Egan will give one person the chance to work alongside him and his team at the Old Bushmills Distillery to create their own blend of the famous Irish Whiskey. The ‘Make it at Bushmills’ competition takes place in countries throughout the world searching for the one person who will receive a 30-day behind the scenes experience of one of world’s oldest working distilleries and the chance to work alongside Colum himself. The winner will get to sample it all, from the secrets of making the finest Irish whiskey to discovering some of the best surfing and golf in Ireland. Colum Egan, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to come to the home of Bushmills Whiskey and get a truly unique insight to what goes on here - it will be an incredible experience. “If someone can prove to us that they have what it takes then we’d be delighted to let them be the first person outside of the distillery to work alongside me to create their own special blend of Bushmills Irish Whiskey – I hope it’s not too good though…I like my job too much!” The global search for someone to ‘Make it at Bushmills’ will give millions of people the chance to apply online through the Bushmills Facebook page. People in participating countries will compete to win a place at Bushcamp, where each of the country winners will try to prove that they have what it takes to be the global winner of the ‘Make it at Bushmills’ challenge. For the winner of Bushcamp, there are the added attractions of a 30 day trip in Ireland for two, luxury penthouse accommodation and £5,000 spending money. Terms and conditions apply. Countries already participating are USA, South Africa, Great Britain, Bulgaria, Israel, Netherlands, Belgium, France and Ireland.
