Statement By VP, Spirits Mark Anthony Brands International
Enda O'Sullivan, VP, Spirits, Mark Anthony Brands International, stated, "This award is testimony to the drive and ambition of the Glendalough team who strive for the very best in all they do. Sourcing the best oak on earth in no mean feat but while the journey was arduous, we knew that the final destination would be glorious. This triple distilled, double gold-winning, single malt is a triumph for Irish whiskey and we look forward to extending the range in the years to come. They say what's rare is beautiful. Mizunara aged single malt is both."
