Irish Whiskey has been a part of the history of Ireland for hundreds of years, yet the history is somewhat of a mystery. While distilleries have come and gone, Slane Irish Whiskey brought the long history of their castle to create their own version that brings back the Boyne Valley version of whiskey.

Slane Irish Whiskey is still in their infancy, but they have created a whiskey that is truly unique and brought to life on the grounds of their castle. Your first sip of Slane gives you a plethora of flavors, coming from three different barrels used to age and later blend their whiskey. Slane ages their whiskey in Tennessee whiskey barrels, virgin oak barrels and sherry casks, pulling in the unique flavor notes of each, then blends them together to create the flavorful whiskey.

Slane Irish Whiskey became a reality when Alex Conyngham and his father Henry developed and launched the brand with the distillery on the grounds of their home, the historic Slane Castle. Slane goes beyond being a great story, as the location lends itself to creating a great whiskey. Slane grows its own sustainable barley and uses it in their whiskey. They also have their own natural water source, as the ancient River Boyne runs right through the heart of the Slane grounds.

Slane Irish Whiskey is on the youthful side when it comes to Irish Whiskey, but shines with the history of Ireland. The history between the Conynghams and the Slane Estate dates back over 300 years, so you have generations of their family, their organic farm, the distillery and what has become one of the most iconic concert venues in the world. Slane Castle in the 1980’s began an amazing run of hosting some of the biggest bands in the world, from David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and U2. The epic list of concerts continues in 2023, as it will be hosting Harry Styles on June 10th. Attending a concert at Slane Castle should be at the top of any music enthusiast’s bucket list, but beyond that, just a visit would be an incredible experience unto itself.
