At the annual Irish Whiskey Masters,

home a total of five medals from the
competition and furthermore has been
shortlisted for the prestigious IWSC
Overall Boutique Distiller of the Year
Award, the winner of which will be
announced at an awards banquet in
November.
Commenting on the latest wave of
International accolades, Jack Teeling,
founder of The Teeling Whiskey Company,
said, "We are truly honoured for our
whiskeys to be so widely recognised at
the biggest competitions in the whiskey
world, especially at such an early stage
in the development of Teeling Whiskey.
With construction about to get underway
at our new distillery in Dublin, 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.
This will be the first new distillery in
the city in 125 years and will create at
least 100 jobs during the construction
phase and 30 permanent jobs when fully
operational.
