Located in the historic Boyne Valley near Drogheda, Boann Distillery is a family-owned Irish whiskey distillery founded by the Cooney family. Established in 2016, the distillery was created to revive the rich distilling heritage of the region, which once supported numerous whiskey producers before the industry declined in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Named after Boann, the Celtic goddess of the River Boyne, the distillery reflects a deep connection to the surrounding landscape and Irish mythology. The state-of-the-art facility blends modern technology with traditional whiskey-making methods, producing spirits using copper pot stills and locally sourced grains from Irish farmers. Water used in production is drawn from a well in the Boyne Valley, helping give the whiskey its distinctive regional character.

Boann focuses particularly on Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, a style unique to Ireland, and has experimented with historic mash bills that include grains such as oats, wheat, and rye. This approach aims to revive older Irish whiskey traditions while developing innovative flavour profiles.

Distillation began in 2019, and the distillery’s new-make spirit has already received international recognition, including being named World’s Best New Make at the World Whiskies Awards.

Today, Boann Distillery produces a range of spirits including Boann Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, The Whistler Irish Whiskey range, and Silks Irish Dry Gin, positioning the distillery as a key contributor to Ireland’s modern whiskey renaissance.
