Irish whiskey brand Bushmills has teamed up with the popular Netflix series 'Peaky Blinders' to launch a specialty whiskey called 'Bushmills Prohibition Recipe Irish Whiskey.' The new expression is being launched just ahead of the June 10 premiere of 'Peaky Blinders' final season.
A fitting collaboration, the characters in Peaky Blinders are themselves bootleggers who regularly indulge in whiskey. Because of this, the bottle aims to mimic the vintage aesthetic of the brand used in the TV show. In particular, 'Bushmills Prohibition Recipe Irish Whiskey,' is a replication of a specific 1920s-era Bushmills bottle that featured blue-tinted glass and a cork lid.
For those interested, the new whiskey is being offered in a limited quantity, making it a collector's item that should appeal to fans of the show.
