Family-run Irish cream liqueur brand Coole Swan has become the first Irish spirit brand to receive a 98/100 rating in the Wine Enthusiast Rating.
As reported by The Irish Independent, Coole Swan, which is manufactured in Co. Meath and bottled in Co. Cavan, is one of only two spirit brands that have received a 98/100 rating in the last three years, and it will be listed as one of Wine Enthusiast Magazine's top 100 spirit brands in the world for 2020.
US-based Wine Enthusiast Magazine is the world's largest periodical for wine and spirits, and every year it reviews and rates wines and other drinks from across the globe.
"An Amazing Result"
Speaking to The Irish Independent, Coole Swan CEO Mary Sadlier said, "This is an amazing result for any brand, but for an independently-owned and family-run business, it is unbelievable, especially as it is all done by blind taste testing. We were up against every major spirits corporation and brand, so for Coole Swan to achieve this is so significant."
