CONGRATULATIONS! Waterford drinks company wins major industry award
A Waterford distillery picked up an award as some of Ireland’s most exceptional food producers were honoured at the 2024 Euro-Toques Food Awards, held at Airfield Estate, Dublin, on September 23.
Since their inception in 1996, inspired by the legendary Myrtle Allen, the Euro-Toques Food Awards have annually recognised and celebrated the finest food produced across Ireland. The event provides a unique platform for chefs to acknowledge and commend the dedication and craft of small artisan producers. The Awards are supported by Cully & Sully this year, as a tribute to Mrs Allen’s work.
Hosted by renowned food writer and author Caroline Hennessy, the ceremony saw the presentation of six awards by Euro-Toques Ireland across the categories of Water, Land, Farm, Dairy, Artisan Produce, and Craft with Waterford's Blackwater Distillery winning the craft section for their "outstanding spirits and their contribution to protecting the tradition and skill of the age-old craft of distillation in Ireland."
