Raw barley, fresh cream and green orchard fruit define Straw Boys Poitín, Connacht’s take on Ireland’s old illicit spirit, made in Ballina, Co. Mayo, rested briefly in ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 45% and named for Mayo’s masked wedding revellers.

Description
Straw Boys Poitín is Connacht Distillery's revival of Ireland's unaged mountain spirit, named after the straw masked revellers who gatecrash Mayo weddings in a tradition the west has never quite let go. It is made in Ballina on the River Moy and bottled at 45%, and it is spirit, not whiskey.
Where most poitín goes straight to bottle, this one takes a short rest in ex-bourbon casks, enough to soften the edges without turning it into something it is not. Raw barley, fresh cream and pear sit over a clean alcohol bite, with the faintest vanilla trace from the wood, best served cold or in a cocktail.
