Teeling Whiskey Honoured as Top Irish Whiskey at the Prestigious IWSC
Teeling Whiskey 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.
