Eve, Senior Brand Manager
When I worked in New York, there were so many new opportunities to work with lots of different people and different brands. I got to push myself out of my comfort zone. For me the spirit of Irish Distillers is the people and the culture. You can’t have one without the other and it’s really special to be part of.
Davy, Bond Supervisor

What I like about Irish Distillers is if you set your goal on whatever job, even if it’s out of your comfort zone, if you’re the right person for that, you will be encouraged and supported”
