“Given that Clonakilty and Marussia are already working successfully in the French market, this is an exciting opportunity to introduce our brands to a wider audience in the US and lay the foundations in making Clonakilty the premium whiskey of choice for discerning US consumers."
NEW YORK (PRWEB) February 13, 2023
Clonakilty Distillery is an award-winning distiller of Irish whiskey and gin including brands such as Clonakilty Double Oak, Clonakilty Port Cask and Minke Irish Gin. Located by the Atlantic coast in South-West Ireland, Clonakilty has received many prestigious awards including World’s Best Irish New Make and World’s Best Small Batch Blended Irish Whiskey.
Operating in the US market since 2018, this appointment builds on the existing 15 state footprint that Clonakilty has in the US, with expansion into four key markets immediately: California, Colorado, Illinois, and Texas. Further states will be added in the near future.
Clonakilty will join Marussia’s successful portfolio of brands which will leverage its position with distributors in both existing and new markets. Marussia’s strong sales team working collaboratively with Clonakilty’s existing team on the ground will help achieve significant scaling opportunities in 2023 and beyond.
“We are very excited to work with Michael and the entire Clonakilty team to build upon the solid foundation they have built in the US market,” commented John Horn, CEO of Marussia Beverages USA. “The brands they have created are special and our Marussia US family is looking forward to representing this quality portfolio in the fast-growing Irish Whiskey category here in the US.”
“Given that Clonakilty and Marussia are already working successfully in the French market, this is an exciting opportunity to introduce our brands to a wider audience in the US and lay the foundations in making Clonakilty the premium whiskey of choice for discerning US consumers,” stated Clonakilty Distillery Founder, Michael Scully.
