The Black Bush Stories events see whiskey experts and TV presenters, Neil Ridley and Joel Harrison, joined by a new guest each week to introduce viewers to the world of Black Bush and a particular craft.

Bringing the series to a close this week, Belfast-born bearded candlemaker, Michael Morris will bring a candle making workshop into viewers’ homes.

Michael will guide viewers on how to repurpose their old candles, by melting down the old wax to create new, aromatic wax melts. He will talk viewers through the process and demonstrate the supreme craftsmanship and care needed for candle making, mirroring those same traits needed to create Black Bush whiskey.

This event will be live streamed at 8pm on Wednesday, May 20 on the @BushmillsIRL Instagram channel. This episode will also be available on IGTV for viewers to watch back in their own time.
