Cooley’s
Greenore claims World’s Best Single
Grain Whiskey Award for third
consecutive year.
 Cooley
Distillery’s Greenore 15 Year Old Single
Grain Irish Whiskey has been named World
Best Single Grain Whiskey for the third
consecutive year at the World Whiskies
Awards in London.
Over 300 whiskies battled it out over
three tasting rounds for the coveted
titles of the 2011 Best Whiskies in the
World. The World Whiskies Awards are
adjudicated by an illustrious panel of
whisky experts brought together by the
industry bible The Whisky Magazine.
Originally launched as a limited batch
of just 5,000 bottles in 2008 the
Greenore 15 Year Old claimed its first
World Best Single Grain Whiskey award in
2009 and has continued to dominate the
Single Grain whiskey field with repeat
wins in 2010 and now 2011.
To date the Greenore 15 Year Old has won
two Gold medals and two Best in Class
commendations at the International Wine
and Spirits Competition and three World
Whiskies Awards World Best Single Grain
Whiskey titles.
Jack Teeling, Managing Director of
Cooley Distillery, commented: "Greenore
is a very special whiskey and one that
we are immensely proud of. Named after a
local town in the area in which it is
produced the success of this unique
whiskey can be attributed to the skill
and dedication of our workforce who
ensure that every drop bottled is of a
world class standard."
"Greenore is the only Irish Single Grain
Whiskey in existence and it’s success is
proof positive of Ireland’s ability to
produce world class products which are
marketable at home and overseas."
This award coincides with the launch of
the latest expression in the Greenore
range – the small batch bottling of 18
Year Old Single Grain. Greenore 18 Year
old continues a journey of taste and
discovery showcasing how extra years in
American oak casks impart further depth
and flavour to Cooley’s award winning
Single Grain whiskey. This small batch
bottling has been limited to only 4000
bottles.
