Bushmills Challenge – Find the Craic

What a great day out with Bushmills on the 8th of December 2011. The two SA legends that won the Bushmills Challenge in Ireland brought some of the fun home for us. Colum Egan, Master Distiller was on standby as all-round judge and host.

I thought I’d share a video with you from the event. You’ll see the local SA whisky gurus in the video. Thanks for an amazing day Bushmills.

Here is my twitter stream from the day (the only real way re relive it step by step):
