The Whistler Triple Oak Irish Whiskey Launches in the US

Irish producer Boann Distillery has launched The Whistler Triple Oak, a triple-distilled blended Irish whiskey, across the US. The family-owned company rolled out the small-batch expression nationally in October and moved its Whistler Trilogy Collection into 700ml bottles with refreshed packaging.

Triple Oak follows what the brand calls its “Triple Triple” philosophy. It blends single pot still, single malt and single grain whiskeys. The whiskey then matures in three types of cask: bourbon, Oloroso sherry and PX sherry.

Triple Oak has an ABV of 40% and a suggested retail price of $29.99 (approx. £22 / ₹2,600).

READ THE STORY

Peter Cooney, co-founder and director of Boann Distillery, explained the thinking behind the blend. “With Triple Oak, we wanted to unite the spice of single pot still, the depth of single malt, and the sweetness of single grain,” he said.

“Bourbon, Oloroso, and PX casks each add character, but the real craft is finding balance,” Cooney added. “We’re proud to create a whiskey that’s approachable, versatile, and great value.”

The official notes from the brand describe toffee, caramel and oak spice on the nose, with hints of raisins and dark chocolate. On the palate, they list toasted oak, caramel, dried fruits and spice, followed by a smooth, lingering finish.

Two liqueurs complete the trilogy. The Whistler Irish Honey Liqueur (33% ABV) combines triple-distilled Irish whiskey with honey from the Cooney family’s own apiaries.

Meanwhile, The Whistler Irish Cream Liqueur (20% ABV) pairs single pot still Irish whiskey with fresh cream from grass-fed cows. Boann says it was the first Irish cream liqueur to use single pot still whiskey.

Both liqueurs also carry a suggested retail price of $29.99 (approx. £22 / ₹2,600).

Patrick and Marie Cooney founded the distillery together with other family members in the Boyne Valley near Drogheda. Before that, the family built its Gleeson Group business from a small, independent bottler to a company with an annual turnover in excess of €300m, before its sale in 2012.

Boann takes its name from the Celtic river goddess Boann, who is closely associated with the River Boyne.

The brand’s portfolio also covers Single Malt, Single Grain and Single Pot Still Whiskeys under the brands The Whistler and, since 2024, Boann itself.

US consumers can find Triple Oak at retailers nationwide through the brand’s online store locator.
