Coveted Award for The Craft Irish Whisky Co.

The Craft Irish Whisky Co. has won the award for Best Single Malt whiskey in Ireland under the no age statement category from the World Whiskies Awards with its inaugural release The Devil’s Keep. It is a great achievement for the young Irish company which was founded just four years ago in 2018.

This is the first time The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. has entered the prestigious World Whiskies Awards after narrowly missing the deadline last year in order to allow The Devil’s Keep an extra week in virgin Hungarian oak.

This year the company entered three of its four releases, and not only topped the category with The Devil’s Keep but it dominated it too, receiving a Silver for its latest release The Taoscán, and a Bronze for its third release, The Brollach. This is the eighth award for The Devil’s Keep, a rare triple distilled, single malt whiskey.

The Devil’s Keep will now go forward to fly the flag for Ireland at the finals of the World Whiskies Awards on 24th March where it will be up against gold standard single malts from over 17 countries worldwide. The launch of The Devil’s Keep in November 2020 saw just 333 bottles released.
