Monsieur Henri is proud to announce the addition of the exclusive
U.S. distribution rights to all 3 award winning Irish whiskeys in the Connemara
Family to its growing spirits portfolio. Recognized for reviving the tradition
and quality of Irish whiskey, Cooley has received the ultimate accolade from
the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC), the Outstanding Achievement
Trophy. Cooley has followed up this success by winning numerous International
Awards for their whiskies, such as the recent Double Gold Medal and Best of
Irish Whiskey title at the San Francisco Spirits Awards for Connemara. Founded
by John Teeling, an Irish entrepreneur with a Harvard degree who resurrected
the distillery and brought it back to its glory days, the company has roots
that date back to 1757. John's vision was to revitalize the stagnant Irish whiskey
industry through innovation and resurrect century old traditional Irish pure
pot still distillation and the technique of drying malting barley over peat
fires. This is best seen in Cooley's development of its portfolio of Single
Malt Irish Whiskies, while traditionally most Irish malt whiskey has been used
to create blended Irish whiskey. To this day Cooley Distillery is the only independent
Irish owned distillery.
David Hynes, Managing Director of Cooley Distillery PLC, says
"We are delighted to be in partnership with Monsieur Henri as our exclusive
distributor for Kilbeggan, Tyrconnell and Connemara in the United States. With
this relationship we have the opportunity to introduce more consumers to the
whiskeys that we are so proud of." "Monsieur Henri is pleased to welcome these
quality Irish whiskeys into the Family", said Jon Mowry, Vice President and
General Manager of Monsieur Henri. "It is incredibly exciting to work with products
of this caliber and we look forward to a long relationship with Cooley Distillery."
