Women in Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey was once a male-dominated industry, however a very positive impact seen as a result of the Irish whiskey renaissance has been the diversification of talent across all levels of our industry. The Irish Whiskey Association Sustainability Roadmap published in 2022 indicates that the gender split across the industry is now 63% male, 37% female.
Working to improve together
Women in Irish Whiskey seeks to build on the positive growth in the industry. By encouraging inclusion, we can foster creativity, drive business success and build on our already vibrant and dynamic industry.
