What Is 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. This release pays tribute to the gritty, rebellious energy of the 1920s Prohibition era, drawing direct inspiration from the hit TV show Peaky Blinders. The result? A high-proof, unapologetically bold expression that resonates with history buffs, whiskey connoisseurs, and Peaky Blinders fans alike.
Styled with a vintage label and deep heritage branding, the Bushmills Prohibition Recipe Peaky Blinders Irish Whiskey bridges classic Irish distilling with modern pop culture storytelling.
The Peaky Blinders Connection
This special whiskey was created in collaboration with the producers of Peaky Blinders, a series renowned for its raw depiction of post-World War I Birmingham and underground crime culture. In the show, Tommy Shelby and his gang often raise a glass—not just to toast their victories, but to cement their authority and legacy.
The Bush Mills Peaky Blinders edition embodies this spirit. The non-chill filtered whiskey is designed to be as unrefined and intense as the characters themselves. From the label design to the flavor notes, it’s a tribute to the gritty glamour of 1920s rebellion—a true artifact for fans of the series.
Tasting Notes & How It Stands Out

-

Compared to traditional Bushmills Irish Whiskey—like the Original, Black Bush, or 10-Year Single Malt—this release is far punchier, both in ABV and in taste complexity. It’s the ideal bottle for those who want a raw, authentic sip that still retains Bushmills’ signature smoothness.
Best enjoyed: Neat, on the rocks, or in vintage-style cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour.
