Irish Coffee Your Twist

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the talented bartenders who participated in the West Cork Whiskey Irish Coffee Competition. The creativity, passion, and dedication demonstrated by each of you truly celebrated the art of crafting the perfect Irish Coffee with your own special twist.

After careful deliberation, our marketing team has selected the winner. However, before we reveal who took home the top prize, we want to acknowledge the incredible efforts of all participants.

Honorable Mentions:
While these entries did not secure the top spot, they showcased exceptional local ingredients and innovation:

  • Anete from the White House Kinsale: A beautifully balanced blend called a Very Irish Coffee, showcasing impressive technique.
  • Pierre from Blur Haven in Kinsale : his inventive twist on the West Cork Irish Coffee was both bold, local and flavourful.

These creations were truly remarkable but one entry stood out really closely with the core essence of West Cork Whiskey and its DNA as the winning entry.

And the Winner is…
Mark Hendrick in an iconic pub in Cork city with his simple but elegant drink Dan Lowerys Irish Coffee!
