Pat Cooney, Founder & CEO of Boann Distillery - commentary on new EU-India trade agreement “This is genuinely positive news for Irish Whiskey and for producers like Boann Distillerry at a critical moment for the sector,” said Pat Cooney, Founder & CEO of Boann Distillery in Meath. "The EU–India trade agreement opens the door wider to the world’s largest whiskey market. India has already shown a strong appetite for premium Irish Whiskey, even with a 150 per cent tariff in place. Cutting that barrier is a game-changer. It sends a clear signal that high-quality Irish spirits can compete and win on the global stage. "At Boann Distillery, we made a conscious decision three years ago to diversify our export markets, and today we ship to close to 70 countries worldwide. That strategy was about resilience, and this deal underlines why it matters." "We believe the quality, provenance and craft behind Boann whiskeys will strongly resonate with new customers in India as access improves. “This agreement gives the industry momentum at a time when it’s badly needed, and it reinforces confidence in the long-term growth story for Irish Whiskey beyond any single market.”

"Some of these mid-sized distilleries are putting £10-, £15-, £20 million into the infrastructure, and then they really skimp on their sales and marketing, maybe hiring one person from somewhere, and then thinking it’s just going to sell." thespiritsbusiness.com/2025/07/two-st…
