The Whistler P.X. I Love You Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Founded in 2015, Boann Distillery joined the resurgence of Irish whiskey in 2019, producing the first spirit in the town of Drogheda in more than 160 years. The 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.All the ingredients are 100% natural, including locally-grown barley from native farmers and water from the Boyne Valley well. Environmentally conscious, 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.The Whistler P. X. I Love You Single Malt is one of those decadent expressions that boasts a masterful sherry influence. Finished for at least 9 months in Pedro Ximenez casks, it’s bottled at 92 proof and immediately greets with a delightful sherry nose while the palate opens with wood before developing flavors of dried fruits, brown sugar, walnut, zesty citrus and a hint of leather.
