Straw Boys Irish Vodka

The brand name “Straw Boys” celebrates the theme of family, friends, and neighbors which is inherent in the story of Ireland. Crashing parties, particularly weddings, is a long-standing tradition, and in the West of Ireland wedding crashers were known as “straw boys.” Straw boys would obscure their faces with large conical hats made of straw, pop into the reception, dance with the bride and groom, have quick drink, and be on their way. Straw boys’ appearance at a wedding was a sign of good luck to the wedding couple. Our vodka is wheat-based and batch distilled in our copper pot stills. We hand bottle the vodka in 750 ml bottles at 80 proof (40% ABV) at our distillery in County Mayo. Straw Boys Irish Vodka has a rich mouth feel that is luscious,silky, and semi-sweet.
