Athru Annacoona Irish Whiskey

The love-battle associated with the elopement of Diarmait and Grania is widely considered the greatest romance in the pantheon of Irish legends.

Annacoona is embodied in the story of these mythic lovers as the intertwined expressions of Oloroso and PX Sherry and Irish single malt whiskey that elucidates a ménage à trois comprising of Finn McCool, his betrothed Grania and the libertine Diarmait.

During a fateful hunt, set between the lush deep groves of Keshcorann and the majestic slopes of Ben Bulben, the other- worldly Earless Green Boar appears. During their almighty tussle the beast is killed but Diarmait is fatally gorged. He calls upon his erstwhile friend Finn to fetch a handful of Seefin Well’s curative waters.

Holding hostage this aqueous elixir in his life-giving hands, Finn agonises over whether he should save his former love rival’s life. Walking back to the prostrate Diarmait, with the precious waters cupped in his enpalmed pail, the question remains, ‘what would you do with one last drop?’
