IRELAND IS FAMED across the world for many things.
The skillful sport of hurling, the shades of green on the island that represent it wherever Irish people go, and in recent years, incredible actors that rank amongst the best in the business. You can now add world-class vodka to this list.
i-Stil38, a premium Irish vodka, recently won World’s Best Vodka at The World Drinks Awards. A wonderful achievement in its own right, but further enhanced by the fact that the brand was set up just two years ago.
Which is why we’re giving away – thanks to our generous folks in i-Stil38 – a wonderful prize to 10 lucky readers. But more on that a little later, first let us tell you a bit more about i-Stil38.
Craft Irish vodka i-Stil38 is produced in Cork – the real capital of Ireland – and combines modern technology with classic techniques to produce the best tasting vodka in the world. Created with Irish grain spirit mixed together in a copper pot still, there are three flavours available, classic, vanilla and pink berries.
Produced by Sugarloaf Beverages and with lifestyle businesswoman Pippa O’Connor Ormond on board as creative director, i-Stil38 qualified for The World Drink Awards global final after being awarded the best Irish vodka.
The World Drinks Awards is a global organisation that recognises the best of the best in the world of alcohol. i-Stil38 won Best Neutral Vodka in the world and Best Range Design in the world, beating out huge spirit markets such as the USA and Japan.
“It’s brilliant to see all the hard work that has gone into i-Stil 38 pay off so well,” said O’Connor Ormond.
From a production perspective, I’m thrilled to see our classic vodka win the world’s Best Neutral Vodka and on top of that, our whole portfolio won world’s Best Range Design. This means we are picking up top accolades not just for our liquid, but for our look and style too,” she added.
It marks a major milestone for the Irish spirits industry as our whiskeys have been highly regarded for centuries, but now a modern Irish vodka has picked up the top global prize in one of the world’s most prestigious beverage competitions. Such recognition is testimony to the effort and dedication of i-Stil 38′s founders, including managing director Shane Davey.
This award is a dream come true for our team. Being crowned as the best vodka in the world can open up so many doors as it now places us amongst some of the most well-known spirit brands on the planet. I am also tremendously proud to represent Ireland at such a high level, it’s fantastic to see an Irish clear spirit getting such praise,” Shane said.
As well as being made with the utmost care for flavour, i-Stil38 is produced with sustainability in mind. Five cents from each bottle sold in Ireland goes towards the nonprofit, Hometree, for planting native Irish trees. The group works with local suppliers to minimise the impact on the environment and to bring a more genuine taste to their drink.
Stocked in numerous Irish outlets, including O’Briens off licences and Dunnes Stores across the country, i-Stil38 can be found anywhere in the country. When it comes to i-Stil 38, buying Irish means buying a world class product.
There are many ways to enjoy i-Stil38, depending on your interests. It’s the perfect option for everything from cocktails to simply mixing with soda water and lime.
