Teeling Whiskey, Ireland’s leading progressive Irish whiskey producer, is delighted to announce it has been honoured as the top rated Irish Whiskey for its 28-Year-Old Single Malt at the prestigious 2020
annual International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC), based in London and results announced on 7th August.
Of all the International awards received, the International Wine & Spirit’s Competition (IWSC) is
recognised as the world’s most prestigious. The competition is one of a kind as it conducts full
‘double’ blind tasting (glasses are pre-poured in a separate room) by panels selected from over 300
fully qualified industry judges followed by an extensive chemical analysis of the product.
At this year’s IWSC Teeling Whiskey received the highest rating of any Irish Whiskey with an overall
score of 96 out of 100 and subsequent gold medal for its 28-Year-Old Single Malt. This was closely
followed by its Renaissance 18-Year-Old Single Malt with a score of 95 out of 100 as well as a further
six silver medals and four bronze medals for its other Teeling Whiskey offerings.
This latest batch of honours builds on the International reputation Teeling Whiskey has earned since
its formation in 2012 and brings the total to nearly 300 International Awards for their Irish Whiskeys.
These accolades include the prestige honour of the “World’s Best Single Malt” which they received
at the World Whiskies Awards in 2019 and reaffirms its status as the premier Irish Single Malt
whiskey producer.
Jack Teeling, Founder and Managing Director of Teeling Whiskey commented, “For every bottling of
Teeling Whiskey we put in a lot time and effort to make sure each release is a true reflection of our
aspiration to be one of the best Whiskey producers in the world. As such, to consistently be rated as
the best Irish Whiskeys in the world, makes all our teams’ efforts worthwhile. Irish Single Malt is an
underdeveloped category with bags of potential so we are delighted to be leading the way for this
premium segment within the Irish Whiskey category.”
