Bushmills have announced the return of its #BlackBushStories campaign - and they're kicking off 2019 with a very special event.

They will be partnering up with specialist tea makers, Suki Tea, with co-founder of the company Oscar Woolley joining Bushmills to host a series of whiskey and tea blending masterclass events across Ireland in April and May.

'Black Bush Blended’ will take place at Drury Buildings, Dublin, on April 30 and May 1. It will be then held in Galway on May 2 at Tribeton.

Guests will take part in an educational tasting session on some of Bushmills’ best loved Irish whiskeys, led by the Bushmills Brand Ambassador, before hearing Oscar’s story on how he turned a love of tea into a career. Attendees will then enjoy a tea tasting session and finish the night creating their own personalised tea blends. Specially created Black Bush drinks, including a tea-based cocktail, will also be served throughout the event.

With a mutual pursuit of quality and flavour, the collaboration between the two Irish brands will also introduce a limited edition, Black Bush inspired, loose leaf tea designed by Oscar.

Taking influence from the rich, smooth notes of Bushmills' Black Bush, Oscar has created a blend bursting with aromatic, warm spices and a finishing flavour of sweet, dried fruit.

Inspired by the supreme craftsmanship, passion and care that goes into the premium blend of Bushmills Black Bush, #BlackBushStories celebrates those who challenge traditional thinking in their fields and live outside the box. A passion for tea and a thirst for innovation has made Oscar – who aims to revolutionise tea one leaf at a time – one of the country’s leading entrepreneurs.

The collaboration forms part of the immersive event series which tells the stories of independent, spirited and extraordinary talent across Ireland and aims to inspire others to follow their own passions, whatever they may be.
