Straw Boys is a single grain Irish whiskey from the Connacht Distillery, also known as Ballina Distillery, which was founded in 2015 in Ballina, County Mayo. It is bottled at 43% in a 70cl bottle and has no added colour. The whiskey is distilled in three copper stills designed by master distiller Robert Cassell. The nose is intensely fruity-sweet, with orange zest, floral notes, a dusty harvest-time grain character and soft spice. On the palate, orange zest sweetness meets gentle spice, with oak in the background and a silky, soft texture. The finish stays fruity and softly spicy, with sweet, peppery notes like cubeb pepper, and later a slightly oily feel with roasted notes.

That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
