Teeling
Whiskey picks up three awards at Irish
Whiskey Awards - Best Poitin, Best
Single Grain and Best Single Malt
over 13 Years.
The Teeling Whiskey Company, the
leading independent Irish Whiskey
company last week continued to build on
its reputation by picking up three top
awards for its range of premium Irish
whiskeys at the second annual Irish
Whiskey Awards last week.
Teeling Whiskey was awarded ‘Best Irish
Poitin’, ‘Best Irish Single Grain’ and
‘Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey (13 Yrs
& Over)’. Since the foundation of the
Teeling Whiskey Company in 2012, the
Teeling Whiskey family of premium Irish
whiskeys has picked up over 40 awards
and honours worldwide.
As the standard and popularity of Irish
whiskey continues to rise, it is fitting
that the excellence and innovation by
producers and distillers is rewarded.
The Irish Whiskey Awards was established
to enable this and is held annually on
the eve of Whiskey Live Dublin. Voting
duties were carried out by members of
the Celtic Whiskey Club and also by the
Irish Whiskey Society. All submitted
entries were subjected to a series of
blind tastings the results of which
determined each winner.
Commenting on the latest accolades, Jack
Teeling, founder of The Teeling Whiskey
Company, said, “We are truly honoured
for our Whiskeys and Poitin to have been
judged by these knowledgeable palates to
be the best in its class. With
construction of our new distillery in
Dublin underway, we hope to be able to
build on these awards and continue to
provide high quality and unique
expressions to Irish whiskey drinkers
around the world. “
The Teeling Whiskey Company was founded
by Jack Teeling in 2012 to revive his
family-old trademark of Irish whiskey
and bring distilling back to Dublin,
where Walter Teeling had a distillery in
the Liberties in the 18th century. In
January 2014, The Teeling Whiskey
Company announced a
€10 million investment in a new
distillery and visitor centre
at Newmarket in The Liberties. Work
started on site in August and when
completed in 2015 will be the first new
distillery in the city in 125 years.
