Bushmills Whiskey Sea Salt
Where Sea Meets Spirit
A quiet union of ocean and oak — shaped by the rugged Antrim and Derry coastlines, where the Atlantic wind carries centuries of story.
Crafted in partnership with Bushmills Distillery, this sea salt begins just miles from the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, on ancestral land where the Ó Catháin clan once watched both tides and troubles roll in. Today, we rise with the sea to hand-harvest in rhythm with the moon — creating something rare, refined, and deeply rooted.
The Taste
Infused slowly, never rushed, our salt draws in the warmth of triple-distilled Bushmills Irish Whiskey, allowing the smoky notes to settle into each crystal like old stories into stone.
Expect a subtle smokiness, a hint of malted warmth, and the clarity of the North Atlantic — not overpowering, but unforgettable. A finishing salt to honour steak, dark chocolate, rich root veg, or even a late-night pour.
This is not a seasoning.
It is salt with a past — and a place.
It Started in Granny’s Saucepan
Before the distillery partnership. Before the packaging.
There was just a battered old pot on a stove — Granny’s saucepan, where the very first crystals were tested and stirred by hand. The fire was gentle. The method slow. And even now, though the scale has grown, the ethos remains the same: honour the land, the craft, and the quiet power of things made with care.
What began on a family stove now carries the flavour of two coasts — the wild rocks of Antrim, the sacred strands of Derry — where sea and spirit meet in reverent rhythm.
And yes — we still use that same saucepan today during our immersive culinary experiences with guests of Dunluce Lodge and visitors to the Causeway Coast. Because some things are more than tools — they are traditions. And traditions deserve to be passed on, not shelved.
The Partnership
This collaboration is a meeting of elements:
🜁 The sea, harvested with ancestral care
🜃 The spirit, distilled with generational mastery
🜂 The fire, slow and reverent
🜄 The earth, that holds them both
Created exclusively for the Luxury Collection, and available only here at Bushmills Distillery and through selected partners, this salt is offered in limited batches. It is a taste for those who understand presence. Who honour silence. Who know that the finest things are never loud.
