Monday 28th November – Last Thursday night at the 2022 edition of the Icons of Whisky Ireland Awards, The Powerscourt Distillery team enjoyed a triple celebration by taking home three awards. Paul Corbett was awarded Master Distiller/Master Blender; the Distillery Visitor Centre took home the Visitor Attraction award, while the In-House Food & Beverage Specialist Santina Kennedy was Highly Commended in the Campaign Innovator category. The Awards took place in Dublin’s Iveagh Garden Hotel.
This huge personal achievement for Paul Corbett as Master Distiller/Blender of the Year – Icon of Whisky Ireland means he will now go forward to London on 30th March, where he will be included in the ‘World’s Best Icons Competition”.
This is the first significant award for the Visitor Centre – Visitor Attraction and is a key milestone, and down to the wonderful work all of the centre’s team do daily, ensuring visitors get the 5-star treatment at every touchpoint on their visit to Powerscourt Distillery.
Finally, Santina Kennedy received a Highly Commended for Campaign Innovator – all down to Santina’s sterling work around the championing and promotion of the Fercullen Whiskey & local Food Pairing concept.
