What Is the Bushmills Prohibition Recipe?

The Bushmills Prohibition Recipe is a limited-edition Irish whiskey crafted by Bushmills Distillery, the oldest licensed distillery in Ireland, established in 1608, in collaboration with the creators of Peaky Blinders. It pays tribute to the gritty, rebellious energy of the 1920s Prohibition era, from the vintage label design to the boldly higher proof.

ABV 46% significantly higher than standard Irish whiskey (typically 40%)
Style Non-chill filtered, preserves more flavor and natural character
Nose Rich toffee, vanilla bean, toasted oak
Palate Warm spices, dried fruit, hints of pepper, malty undertone
Finish Long and robust with lingering spice and dry oak tail
Inspiration Peaky Blinders, post-WWI Birmingham, underground culture, prohibition-era rebellion

Compared to the standard Bushmills lineup, the Prohibition Recipe is punchier, both in ABV and in flavor intensity. The non-chill filtration preserves oils and compounds that standard filtration removes, giving it more texture and a richer mouthfeel. It's the boldest thing Bushmills has ever put its name on.

Prohibition-Inspired Cocktails, Make Them with What's In Stock

The Prohibition Recipe was built for vintage-style cocktails. These recipes work equally well with Bushmills Black Bush or the 10 Year Single Malt.

🥃 Peaky Blinders Manhattan

The Shelby family's kind of drink. Spirit-forward, dark, and unapologetic.

Stir over ice 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with cherry. The sherry cask influence in Black Bush pairs beautifully with vermouth, richer and darker than a standard Manhattan, with an Irish smoothness that makes it dangerously easy to drink.

Shop Black Bush → Shop 10 Year →

🍊 Prohibition Old Fashioned

Classic prohibition-era cocktail, Irish-style. The higher proof of the Original makes this work better than you'd expect.

  • 2 oz Bushmills Original
  • ½ tsp demerara syrup · 2 dashes Angostura bitters · Orange peel to garnish

Stir over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Express orange peel. The Irish whiskey's natural smoothness makes this an easy-drinking Old Fashioned, lighter and more approachable than a bourbon version, with the same classic structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bushmills Prohibition Recipe?

A limited-edition 46% ABV, non-chill filtered Irish whiskey created by Bushmills in collaboration with the producers of Peaky Blinders. It's the boldest expression in Bushmills' history, higher proof, more intense flavor, and vintage packaging that pays tribute to 1920s Prohibition-era rebellion. Check current availability →

Is the Bushmills Prohibition Recipe the same as regular Bushmills?

No, it's significantly different. Regular Bushmills is typically 40% ABV and chill-filtered. The Prohibition Recipe is 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, which means more flavor, more texture, and a longer finish. It's the most intense thing Bushmills has made. If you want something in that spirit right now, Black Bush is the closest in-stock alternative, sherry-cask richness and real complexity.

What's the best Bushmills for cocktails?

Bushmills Original (currently 35% off) is the right call for cocktails, light, smooth, and built for mixing. For a more premium cocktail like a Manhattan or Boulevardier, Black Bush is worth the step up.

What's the best Bushmills to buy as a gift?

The 12 Year Single Malt is the most impressive gift in the current lineup, it has the age statement and the prestige. For a more distinctive option, the 10 Year Bordeaux Cask Reserve is a genuinely unusual bottle that any whiskey drinker will find interesting.

What is the Peaky Blinders connection?

Peaky Blinders is a British TV drama set in post-WWI Birmingham, following the Shelby crime family as they navigate power, loyalty, and survival in 1920s England. The Bushmills collaboration draws on the show's aesthetic, raw, unapologetic, heritage-driven and channels that energy into a higher-proof, non-chill filtered Irish whiskey built to match the show's intensity.
