The Straw Boys are a tradition from the west of Ireland. At Irish weddings, figures dressed in straw masks appear late in the evening, dance with the bride and groom, receive drinks and then disappear back into the night. An old tradition that is supposed to bring the bride and groom luck. What appears wild and untamed is also reflected in the idea behind the Straw Boys series from the Connacht Distillery. The bottlings are intended to be unusual and appeal to the connoisseurs' love of experimentation.
