The town has a rich history of whiskey distilling and had 18 operating distilleries in 1774. As we know, Irish whiskey was in decline in the 20th century, due to the civil war, trade dispute with the UK, and Prohibition in the US with only a handful distilleries remaining operational, none of those in Drogheda. Boann Distillery joined the resurgence of Irish whiskey in 2019, producing the first spirit in the town in more than 160 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe company was launched by Patrick \"The Whistler\" Cooney and his wife Marie with several other family members. Backed by 40 years of experience in the industry, the family has the know-how, skill, and passion to create premium Irish whiskey. On one hand, they honor the rich tradition of Irish whiskey, on the other they take innovative approaches using cutting-edge technology which includes their state-of-the-art brewhouse and unique 3 copper-pot stills that use nanotechnology ― all with the goal of creating some of the finest whiskey and craft gin.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAll the ingredients are 100% natural, including locally-grown barley from native farmers and water from the Boyne Valley well. The operation is overseen by Michael Walsh. Ireland's youngest head distiller has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge during his Chemical Engineering studies and when getting his Certificate in Distilling in 2012, quickly rising through the ranks. They recycle their water and harness the heat that is generated during distillation, which then helps run their packaging lines and heat their restaurant, visitor center, and offices. Distillation byproducts are used as animal feed.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3968\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all The Whistler bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Irish Whiskey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIrish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’d like to check out our impressive selection of “\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/whiskey\/irish\/\"\u003eUisce Beatha\u003c\/a\u003e,” find your new favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/whiskey\/irish\/reviews\"\u003eBest reviewed Irish whiskeys\u003c\/a\u003e, and explore our treasury of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/rare-whiskey\/\"\u003erare \u0026amp; hard to find Irish whiskeys\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51412150681813,"sku":null,"price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/the-whistler-_natural-cask-strength_-7-year-old-limited-edition-1.jpg?v=1745581451","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/the-whistler-natural-cask-strength-7-year-old-limited-edition","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
