be more and more new Irish whiskey's

old hands such as Irish Distillers that are still picking up the
top accolades.

Distillers most recent accolades was
from Jim Murray who recognised Redbreast
21 Year Old and Jameson Irish Whiskey as
Best Irish Whiskey and Best Blended

perfect pot still Irish Whiskey", scored
96/100 points to top the Best Single Pot
Still Irish Whiskey category. The
