Bushmills Peaky Blinders Prohibition Recipe Irish Whiskey

Bushmills Peaky Blinders Prohibition Recipe Irish Whiskey is a special release from the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, created to bring fans as close as possible to what might have been poured in a 1920s Birmingham pub. Developed in collaboration with the producers of Peaky Blinders, this bottle proudly carries the “By Order of the Shelby Company Ltd” branding and a vintage-inspired blue glass design that feels right at home in the show’s gritty, period setting. 

Under the hood, this isn’t a gimmick, it’s a carefully tuned Irish blend. The whiskey combines triple-distilled malt and grain spirits matured in ex-bourbon casks, with components aged a minimum of three years. Bottled at 46% ABV and left non-chill filtered, it delivers more weight, texture, and flavor than standard 40% entry-level bottlings from the same distillery. That higher proof and unfiltered character give the spirit a satisfying oily, almost buttery mouthfeel that whiskey enthusiasts immediately appreciate. 

On the nose, you’ll find soft vanilla, honeyed sweetness, light florals, and grain notes, backed by orchard fruit and a touch of oak. The palate follows with bready caramel, cereal malt, citrus zest, and gentle baking spice from the bourbon cask maturation. The finish is warm and moderately long, with lingering sweetness and oak that make it an easy sipper despite the higher proof. 

In practical terms, this is a versatile bottle. Fans of the show will love it neat in a heavy tumbler, very on-theme for a Peaky Blinders watch night, but the structure and proof also make it ideal for cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Whiskey Sours where you don’t want the spirit to disappear behind mixers. 

Whether you’re a Peaky Blinders collector, an Irish whiskey drinker looking for more intensity than standard blends, or simply curious about a Prohibition-style twist from a historic distillery, Bushmills Peaky Blinders Prohibition Recipe offers a distinctive, character-driven pour that backs up its TV tie-in with genuinely solid whiskey.
