** BUSHMILLS WHISKEY BARRELS !!

JUST a quick update on the production and distribution of
these interesting little Bushmills souvenir !! I had a call
from some wonderful Belleeker friends of mine, from the mid
west, and they assured me that their collection comprises a
Bushmills barrel from the Millennium or 10th. Period !!

Thus, we have verified that Belleek was still supplying
Bushmills with their keepsake in the year 2000 !!

THANKS for your invaluable Update !!
