nutmegcollector Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 By Google News on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 Amid glitz and the glamour Bushmills Distillery was put on the world stage April 22nd - by the Bank of Ireland. In case anyone was unaware of the world famous Bushmills, the Bank of Ireland’s Governor came to Belfast to honour his favourite whiskey. From yesterday a new Bank of Ireland £5 note bears a picture of the famous distillery with new £10 and £20 notes to follow next month. Yesterday — in scenes reminiscent of Hollywood — the Bank of Ireland unveiled its series of new notes with a blaze of publicity. Huge outdoor screens beamed the launch onto the bank’s HQ stopping hundreds of shoppers in their tracks. The Bank of Ireland’s governor Richard Burrows said it was a special moment for him as back in 1972 he spent four years as the managing director of Bushmills Distillery. He said: “I spent some very happy years on the North coast of Antrim and today we are celebrating the 400th anniversary of Bushmills Distillery.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
