Placing it among the top 10% of all entries, The Devil’s Keep has been awarded two stars by Great Taste, the largest and most trusted accreditation scheme for fine food and drink.
This independent body judges food and drink of the finest quality, awarding 1, 2 or 3 stars. To receive two stars places The Devil’s Keep in the ‘outstanding’ category, a rating less than 10% of all entries will achieve. With only around 35% of all entries being deemed worthy of any award, to gain two stars is an exceptional accolade for our inaugural release.
But then this is no ordinary whiskey. Crafted from the finest distillate and matured for 29 years in American, French and Hungarian Oak barrels, The Devil’s Keep is the rarest and oldest triple distilled and triple casked single malt Irish whiskey. The judges described it as “by far the most talked about drink so far, not just because it is interesting in its aroma, but because it is transportive and evocative.” They went on to praise its smokey character, rich vanilla notes and unique taste, remarking that it is “surprisingly spirituous for its triple distillation and long sojourn in cask, but amply rewarding on the palate, with honeyed notes mingling with wood and grain.”
Joining Gold awards for taste from the IWSC Competition and The Spirit Business Awards, as well as Golds for its design from the A’Design Awards and the Luxury Packaging Awards, this is the latest top award but we have no doubt it won’t be the last.
