Glendalough Distillery Wins ‘Ireland Distillery of the Year’ At New York International Spirits Competition

2023 marks the second successive year that Glendalough Distillery has been titled ‘Ireland Distillery of the Year’ at the New York International Spirits Competition.

Glendalough Distillery was also awarded a Double Gold for its 7-year-old Irish Single Malt Mizunara Finish, and Gold Medals for Glendalough Pot Still Whiskey and Glendalough Wild Rose Irish Gin.

This year’s New York International Spirits Competition had over 1,400 entries from 39 different countries with top spirits buyers sitting as part of the informed judging panel for each of the entries.

The judges were thrilled with the immensely high quality of spirits submitted from an array of different regions and countries.

 Glendalough Distillery makes luxury spirits in the Wicklow Mountains and has become a leader in crafting innovative Irish spirits. The distillery’s Irish single malt whiskey aged in rare Japanese Mizunara oak, and Pot Still aged in Irish oak were firsts for Irish whiskey, and the accolades from the New York  International Spirits Competition are testament to their premium quality and flavour.
