The Whistler Irish Honey

Boann Distillery, an Irish family enterprise, is perhaps best known for producing "The Whistler" range, known for its remarkable quality and intriguing flavour profiles. Situated in the lush landscapes of County Meath, Ireland, Boann epitomises the synergy of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary innovation, placing it distinctively in the thriving world of Irish whiskey.

The Whistler products, celebrated for their invitingly rich and multifaceted flavours, offer a splendid journey through the character of Irish whiskey. Employing a meticulous process that harmoniously blends age-old distillation techniques with modern methodologies, Boann ensures that every sip of The Whistler resonates with the heritage and purity of the Irish lands.

Traditional malted barley, cultivated under the gentle Irish skies, undergoes a scrupulous distillation process within the sanctum of Boann's copper pot stills. These stills, under the watchful eyes of skilled distillers, play a pivotal role in imparting The Whistler’s signature smoothness and characteristic warmth. Once distilled, the spirit is allowed to embark on its maturation journey within carefully chosen casks, where it will weave its magic over the years, absorbing the rich narratives from the wood and the environment.

The Whistler range encompasses a variety of expressions, each narrating a unique tale of flavours, aromas, and textures. From vibrant, lively young whiskies to rich, complex, aged expressions, the brand showcases an impressive palette of experiences to explore. The casks, which once cradled an array of spirits, from sherry to bourbon, confer upon the whisky a labyrinth of notes, from sweet, fruity whispers to bold, spicy exclamations.

Boann Distillery, through The Whistler, pays homage to the ancient whisky-making traditions of Ireland while also daring to forge new paths, exploring inventive cask finishes, and engaging in a dialogue between the old and the new.

Irish Honey

The Whistler Irish Honey Liqueur is made in small batches and combines some delicious bourbon matured and sherry cask finished whiskey from Boann Distillery, along with Irish honey harvested from the apple orchards of the Cooney family—the second largest cider producers in Ireland. It's smooth, sweet, and very very drinkable.
