Boann Scoops “World’s Best New Make” in the World Whiskies Awards 2021!!
Mar
Our “New Born” new make spirit has been crowned “World’s Best New Make” at the finals of the World Whiskies Awards last night. We are over the moon to have won the most prestigious award for producing the best new make whiskey in the world.
We have become the first Irish distillery to win this global accolade. After such hard work and dedication by our team to produce the best spirit we can, it is amazing to gain this recognition so early on in our whiskey journey.
In the words of Pat Cooney, our founder:
“This is very exciting, a first for us and a first for Ireland, no other distillery has won best international new make in this competition, which is the top award when it comes to whiskey distillation.
We have achieved this by merging the old ways of whiskey production in copper pot stills, with cutting edge, 21st century nano-technology.
It is an incredible achievement for our team that we have produced the best new make whiskey on the planet.”
The awards were streamed over Facebook Live last night (Thurs) from the World Whiskies Awards offices in Norfolk, England, with 1,000 whiskies entered in 16 different categories.
This fabulous accolade adds the world prize to the six national awards we scooped in the national category of the World Whiskies Awards last month:

Gold – blended whiskey category – Whistler Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish
