Its all gold
for Irish Distillers whiskey range at
San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
 It
would seem that every whiskey Irish
Distillers produces turns to Gold, the
company has just picked up a remarkable 24
Gold or above medals at the recent
International Spirits Challenge and San
Francisco World Spirits Competition. Top
honours were awarded to Powers John’s
Lane 12 Years Old, scooping Best Single
Pot Still Whiskey and Best Irish Whiskey
at the annual tasting in San Francisco.
A couple of recent additions to the
Irish Distillers line up of whiskey's,
Midleton Dair Ghaelach Bluebell Forest
(released October 2017) and Jameson Bow
Street 18 Years Cask Strength (released
April 2018), were also highly commended,
winning Double Gold medals on their
first outing at the San Francisco World
Spirits Competition. These accolades
have set the bar high for the rest of
the awards season, suggesting further
success is on the horizon for both of
these prestige offerings from the
Midleton family of Irish whiskeys.
In addition, the outstanding Redbreast
12 Year Old Cask Strength claimed its
fourth Double Gold medal in a row at the
San Francisco World Spirits Competition
– a testament to the consistency in
quality of single pot still Irish
whiskey craftsmanship at the Midleton
Distillery, County Cork. With four Gold
or above medals at the San Francisco
World Spirits Competition, Redbreast has
once again cemented its place as the
most decorated single pot still Irish
whiskey in the world.
