News: Terlato Wine Group Partners with West Cork Distillers Irish Whiskey [Wine Industry Advisor]
“Established in 1938, fourth generation family-owned and operated Terlato Wine Group has announced a new partnership with Ireland’s West Cork distillers. Effective January 1, 2024, Terlato Wine Group became West Cork Distiller’s exclusive sales and marketing agent in the United States.
West Cork Distillery was established by three childhood friends – John O’Connell, Ger McCarthy and Denis McCarthy — all of whom had a passion for high quality products and a shared belief that challenging tradition creates better innovation. The trio began their distilling business from a small room in the back of Denis’ home in Union Hall, County Cork utilizing two small stills bought off a schnapps producer in Switzerland. Today, West Cork’s founders run their thriving business from their 12-acre distillery in Skibbereen, West Cork, a site with a distillation capacity for 8 million liters of pure Irish Whiskey (uisce beatha).”
