Quintessential Brands Group is celebrating industry award success for two senior members of the team in Ireland, who have been recognised in two of Ireland’s leading drinks industry awards.
Darryl McNally, Master Distiller at the Dublin Liberties Distillery, has been awarded ‘Distillery Manager of the Year’ at Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky Ireland Awards 2019. Recognised around the world as one of the most skilful and progressive Irish whiskey distillers in the industry, this award recognises Darryl’s unrivalled skill and passion for Irish whiskey making – something which has helped to put The Dublin Liberties Distillery on the map since its opening earlier this year.
Lisa Doyle, Brand Activation and Commercial Manager for Quintessential Brands Ireland, picked up the award for ‘Brand Representative of the Year’ at the Irish Craft Cocktail Awards. Voted for by the industry, this award is testament to Lisa’s passion for the on-trade channel, where her ability to forge strong relationships has helped to build the reputation of Quintessential Brands’ Group’s portfolio of whiskeys and gins.
Both accolades follow a series of award wins for Quintessential Brands Group this year, including ISC Gin Producer of the Year 2019, Grand Travel Retail Master 2019 and a quadruple award win for the Dublin Liberties Irish whiskey range at the Irish Whiskey Masters 2019.
