The wild sea surrounding Lambay is an irreplaceable part of what makes Lambay Whiskey so distinctive. The salt-laden air that weathers the walls of the Sea Cask Room also seeps into each cask, infusing the liquid with bold, maritime flavours that can’t be replicated anywhere else. Here, the whiskey absorbs the essence of the island—the salty spray, the wild winds, and the ever-changing tides. The result is a whiskey that’s authentic and deeply connected to its origins, inviting you to explore the untamed spirit of the island.

Perched on Lambay’s rugged coastline since 1929, the Whitehouse—known to the family as Babylon—was the final piece in the quadrangle of shoreline buildings designed by Edwin Lutyens. More than an architectural treasure, it stands as a symbol of resilience and enduring craft that define Lambay. Every detail on the island tells a story of balance, strength, and timeless character—not merely standing against the elements but embracing them, much like our whiskey.

As a Natura 2000 site, Lambay is a sanctuary for the largest breeding colony of North Atlantic Grey Seals on Ireland’s east coast. Present year-round, the seals thrive along Lambay’s intertidal shorelines and skerries, navigating every phase of their life cycle—breeding, foraging, resting, and beyond. From August to December, pups are born on remote beaches and sheltered caves, cared for in small, close-knit groups.
At Lambay Whiskey, we ensure our presence on the island is kept to a minimum, so it remains a thriving haven for seals, seabirds, and all who call it home.

Accessible only by boat and invitation, Lambay is an island off Ireland’s east coast, a sanctuary to grey seals, wallabies, diverse seabirds, wild flora, and, home to Lambay Whiskey. In the Sea Cask Room, perched right on the island’s shore, our finest Irish Whiskey is finished in hand-selected Camus Cognac casks, absorbing the unique elements of maritime climate and the island’s environment. Soon, Lambay will also welcome our micro-distillery — an off-grid venture housed in a repurposed ancient potting shed. Here, we will craft the finest single malt, exceptional in flavour and dedicated to sustaining the very place it calls home.

At Lambay Whiskey, the island shapes every aspect of our journey. Although we plan with precision, ultimately the tides and weather set the pace, and we can only move forward when the island allows. Last month, our building progress slowed unexpectedly. That’s the reality of building something special in an off-grid environment — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. These challenges only fuel our determination to come back stronger in the new year, ready to begin distilling our whiskey on Lambay in spring.
To everyone following our journey: thank you for your support, patience, and belief in what we’re creating. On Lambay, for Lambay. The journey continues.
