Seaview is a regenerative farm on the north coast of Northern Ireland. A Farm to Fork business run by couple, Shay and Susan. Their focus is on soil health and nutrient density of the food they produce in the most ethical way possible. They are a regenerative farm who follow the Slow Food philosophy, with many heritage breeds live in symbiosis, thriving in their natural environment. They area a close loop producer as far as they can be, farming, butchering, selling and everything in between. Sharing their story as they go under their ethos of ‘Know Your Farmer’, you will see them at many farmers markets and can purchase direct from the online. If your lucky enough you may taste their pork, beef, chicken and sausages on the menu of selected local restaurant like the Bushmills Inn.
They source local ingredients to flavour the handmade gluten free sausages from Scotts. The animals themselves are fed with local mill Chestnutt’s Animal Feeds. Passionate about the effects our food has on our health they have gone back to tradition with nitrate free bacon. Think of Seaview like a butcher’s where you can pick the cut you like, and without a shadow of a doubt raised from animals reared in the best way possible.

The Basalt Distillery is a brand-new distillery close to the Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland and represents a departure from traditional craft distilling with an emphasis on the latest sustainable processes, cutting-edge distilling technology and an unrivalled focus on precision.
Owners and Distillers, James Richardson and Martha Garbe, have master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering, and have also completed distilling certificates with the Institute of Brewing and Distilling, as well as the university course set by their still manufacturer, iStill. They apply the same meticulous scientific approach to distilling so that they can create the most incredible flavours and high-quality spirits.
Their flagship product is Giants Basalt Rock Gin and is inspired by the basalt rock that filters the water from their own 600ft bore hole. Each year they will release a limited 40,000 bottles – one for each of basalt rock column of the Giant’s Causeway. This is a signal of their commitment to protecting our world’s finite resources, and a sign of their gratitude for what nature has provided.
Coming in at a powerful 50.1%abv, Giants Basalt Rock Gin on the nose is initially very fresh citrus, followed by juniper and hints of savoury saltiness. On the palette, the citrus from the nose comes over first, then there’s classic juniper and more sharp and warm spices, from ginger and cassia. These flavours give way to more unusual flavours that are hard to pin down, something fresh and salty. It is harmonized by a mellow mouth feel from the buckwheat. The Finish, peppery spices enhanced by the tail pepper carries over into a long-lasting finish that lingers in all three dimensions.
The bottles alone are a work of art, but the spirit inside is truly special.
