Fantasy Irish Whiskey Awards 2020




Wishing one and all the very best for 2021. Whether you are involved in Irish Whiskey, you are already an enthusiast or just beginning your Whiskey journey we invite you to visit us in Kilkenny and see the glory of the Medival capital of Ireland and the very buildings from the 14th Century that still stand testament to The Red Book Of Ossory, the origins of Aqua Vitae in Ireland, Uisce Beatha and of course Whiskey - The water of life!


Earlier in 2020 we invited everyone to nominate and vote for their favourites in an array of Irish Whiskey catergories and here below now are the results of the poll! Of course everyone is a winner but we have listed the top three peoples choices in each category in no particular order.
