Cooley
Collects 10 Gold Medals at IWSC Two
Years Running. This latest win brings
Cooley’s total Gold Medal haul to over
100.
Cooley Distillery, Ireland’s only
independent Irish whiskey distillery,
has matched the record it set in 2009 by
winning 10 Gold Medals at the 2010
International Wine & Spirits Competition
(IWSC). The results were announced
yesterday at the IWSC Awards ceremony in
London.
IWSC medals are awarded on a strict
points system by a panel of
international judges. They are the most
prestigious honours bestowed to the
drinks industry as they are judged
solely on the quality of the wine or
spirit.
The 2010 IWSC Competition Banquet will
be held in the Guildhall in London on
the 17th November 2010 when specific
product and producer trophies will be
awarded. Cooley Distillery has been
named European Distiller of the Year for
the last two years and is in the running
to make it three in a row.
Cooley Distillery collected a total of
20 medals at the IWSC in 2010 making it
by far the most successful Irish whiskey
distiller at the IWSC and brings
Cooley’s overall haul of Gold Medals to
over 100 in all International Spirits
Competitions.
Jack Teeling, Managing Director of
Cooley Distillery, commented, "The
latest haul of IWSC Gold Medals brings
us over the landmark of 100 Gold Medals
in all competitions and justifies our
continual investment in innovation and
quality. At a time of resurgence in
Irish whiskey we are delighted to
continue to build on both Ireland’s and
Cooley’s reputation for being a world
class producer of whiskey."
