The Ó Catháins were widely revered for their fighting skills and strength, and so were known as the warrior clan of Ulster. On May 14th 1260, this warrior clan, went up against the Normans at the infamous Battle of Down, where they were completely outmatched and outnumbered. No less than 15 Ó Catháin chiefs lost their lives that day and the battle was sadly lost.
Ó Catháin whiskey set out to celebrate those brave warriors who knowingly faced certain death that day.
