The Old Bushmills Distillery, as master distiller Colum Egan told us here in the office the other day, is a highly scientific place, with secret laboratories and brand-new fermentation washbacks and triple-distill boilers, the calculations of which the average drinking man cannot even begin to comprehend. But they still mature the stuff in, you know, wood. They're fancy, though — Egan told us of a rare, 30-year batch they kept around, except for the barrel that loosened up, laid bare some nail on the booze, and turned it all green — and that means some fine oak's just kind of sitting around in Ireland, doing no good except to get you good and whiskey'd. Which is why the fellas at Bodega, the heritage-happy, sneaker-freak men's shop in Boston (behind the Snapple machine, of course), teamed with Bushmills on this here pair of shades, made from said barrels, and revealed here on The Style Blog for the first time. Shwood's wooden-sunglass people in Portland made the design happen (more on that in the video below), and so 100 of the 300 custom pairs are on sale starting right now. Better hurry.
