THE BUSKER WINS GOLD BLAS NA HEIREANN
The Busker Single Pot Still has won GOLD at the Blas na hEireann Awards 2024. The Busker, produced at Royal Oak Distillery has also taken home GOLD for Best Producer in County Carlow. Brand Activator Richie Delahoyde, and Global Brand Ambassador Woody Kane were in attendance at the awards show in Dingle, to collect the two awards for the Busker.
The Busker Pot Still is a distinctive expression to Ireland, created to bring you on a journey of exceptional character. Distilled in single pot stills and aged in both bourbon and sherry casks. On the nose, you experience rich complex notes of honey, oak, fudge, clove oil, sometimes perfumed fresh flowers too. Taste buds kick off with some beautiful deep and intense rich spiciness with peppery notes and hints of vanilla and toffee fudge. Concluding with a long warm spicy finish.
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but for a Christmas cocktail, try it in your Whiskey Sour for a unique spicy warm feel.
Moreover, The Busker has just taken home 4 awards from the Irish Whiskey Awards 2024. The Busker Single Pot Still and the Busker Single Malt both won GOLD for Irish Single Cask, 11 years and Younger. The Busker Triple Cask won GOLD for the best Blended Irish Whiskey under €50. And coming down the line to the range, the Busker Small Batch Single Malt won GOLD for the best Irish Single Malt, 11 years & younger, under €60.
