Boann Distillery

Boann Distillery is an independent, family-run distillery in the heart of the Boyne Valley.

Founded by Pat and Marie Cooney and their family, Boann Distillery is dedicated to reviving the true character of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. 

They honour Ireland’s whiskey heritage by reintroducing historic mash bills containing oats, wheat and rye grains mostly unused for 50 years. Their state-of-the-art distillery is custom-built to process these grains, and by using water from their Boyne Valley well, and grains from local farmers, they craft whiskeys that are elegant, vibrant, and full of complexity.

On the Summer Solstice 2024, they launched their first core range of Boann Single Pot Still Irish Whiskeys; Marsala, Madeira and P.X. which are now available to purchase at boanndistillery.ie or from the distillery.

Boann Distillery is also home of The Whistler Irish Whiskey, and Silks Irish Gin. Silks Gin is distilled in small batches in a 500 litre custom copper pot still and its signature botanicals are hand foraged from the Cooney family’s apple orchards. Boann Distillery also produces 1848 Apple Brandy, named World’s Best Apple Brandy at the World Drink Awards 2024.

As Origin Green Gold members, they have made concrete commitments to protect the environment including using a closed-loop water system, having a local farmer collect spent grains for cattle feed, utilising solar energy and maximising energy recovery. Each year, they plant 1,000 native trees as part of their Barrel Sustainability plan.
