KILLOWEN DISTILLERY
WINS TWO AWARDS AT THE
SAN FRANCISCO SPIRIT AWARDS

We at Killowen have been somewhat sceptical of Spirit Awards in the past but having seen other spirits we regard highly winning awards we thought we would give it a go!

Having looked at the many, many Spirit Awards that are on offer globally we decided to jump right in with the longest running and largest of its kind – The San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Founded in 2000 this Spirits Competition has become one of the most prestigious and influential awards in the world. So with a good dose of ‘Go Big or Go Home’ we entered our Pangur Irish Poitín and Signature Blend Single Malt Irish Whiskey – Rum & Raisin.

With the assistance of our USA Importer we got out bottles submitted, crossed our fingers, toes and anything else we could and waited. Then just at the end of last week we got the joyous news that not only did we win but we received two awards.

Up against a growing category of Irish Poitín producers and Single Malt Irish Whiskey producers we where over the moon to win – Double Gold for our Pangur Irish Poitín and Silver for our Rum & Raisin Single Malt Irish Whiskey.

The timing on this also couldn’t be better, as this Thursday 4th May at 6pm we are having an official launch of Pangur Irish Poitin at Trademarket Belfast. So if your around why not join us to find out more about the native spirit of Ireland and try this award winning poitín for yourself – neat, in a long drink or even a cocktail whatever takes your fancy!
