Single Malt whiskey in Ireland under the no age statement category from The

missing the deadline last year. This year the company entered three of its four

dominated it too, receiving a Silver for its latest release The Taoscan, and a

After seeing off competition in the category from Teeling Whiskey Single Malt,

Method and Madness Single Malt, The Whistler P.X. I Love You and Writers' Tears

Red Head, 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.

This is the eighth award for The Devil's Keep

(https://www.craftirishwhiskey.com/the-devils-keep ), a rare triple distilled,

29-year-old single malt whiskey and one of the finest whiskies Ireland has ever

created. The launch of The Devil's Keep in November 2020 saw just 333 bottles

released. It was the most expensive inaugural first release in history, and

sold at auction for USD $60,000 (almost 46,000 pounds and 51,000 Euros), and

the oldest triple distilled Irish whiskey in existence, only to be topped by

The Craft Irish Whiskey Co.'s second release in February 2021 of the

30-year-old The Emerald Isle Collection.

Amongst its other accolades is a Gold award from the world-renowned

International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2021 and a Gold from the Global

Luxury Spirit Masters 2021. The Devil's Keep also scooped the highest scoring

Gold award in the 'Packaging Design Category' of the A' Design Award, Bronze at

the Pentawards 2021 and an iLuxury award. It follows a further two awards from

2020; winner of the Luxury Drinks Secondary Pack award at the 2020 Luxury

Packaging Awards and Highly Commended under the category of Luxury Drinks

Primary Pack at the 2020 Luxury Packaging Awards.

A second release of The Devil's Keep

(https://www.craftirishwhiskey.com/the-devils-keep ) is due in the coming months.

Jay Bradley, founder and CEO of The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. said: "I couldn't

be prouder of the impact The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. is having on the whiskey

industry and of how our whiskeys are speaking for themselves on the world

stage. We spared no expense with The Devil's Keep, from the liquid to the

design to the accompaniments to even missing last year's awards deadline as we

wanted to leave the liquid a little longer to ensure it was absolutely perfect.

It's all the sweeter to be recognised this year by the highly regarded World

Whiskies Awards and we look forward to representing Ireland on the 24th March

for the world title!"
