Boy, Bushmills is very busy this year. In addition to the release of Bushmills 1608, they're doing a Twin Cities poll with a drawing for a trip to Ireland:

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the original license to distill whiskey, the Irish town of Bushmills, home of Bushmills Irish Whiskey, is looking for the Twin City of Bushmills in America. The finalist cities are: Boston, MA; Portland, ME; and Louisville, KY.

These cities were selected based on an application outlining why they embody the four quintessential values of Bushmills—pride of place, hospitality, craftsmanship, humor and wit.
People of legal purchase age across the U.S. ultimately choose the winning city. They can vote online for the Twin City of Bushmills in America at www.Bushmills400years.com from February 4, 2008 through March 17, 2008.
The winning city receives a $40,000 grant--$20,000 for the preservation/advancement of local culture and $20,000 for local responsible drinking programs.

So head over to www.Bushmills400years.com to vote for the Twin City of Bushmills in America, and you'll be entered to win a trip for two to visit Ireland.

to see Irish at its best from Belfast to Dublin.

I wouldn't dare recommend a city for your vote, but I voted for Boston which will always hold a special place in my heart as being the city who traded Joe Thornton to the Sharks

Oh Thank you Boston :)

Here's the YouTube commercial for the contest:
