Twenty years and counting
Noel Sweeney, Master Blender, celebrates twenty years at Cooley Distillery this week. Since the distillery is not much older than that, and has never released a whiskey more than 16 years old, that means Noel has watched over every drop of your preferred Cooley spirit from distillation through maturation to bottling. It must be very gratifying to be able to compose some of the finest whiskeys coming out of Ireland today after waiting patiently all those years.

Bravo to Noel - what a great achievement. Cooley's whiskies just seem to keep getting better and better.
I started down the Irish Whiskey road with Jameson, but recently have come to be a big fan of the Cooley whiskeys. I prefer Kilbeggan over Jameson, and these days Irish Manor is my go to whiskey. Here's hoping for many more...
