Cooley used to have own brand supermarket Irish whiskey sown up. Perhaps Teeling are now catering to this market. Or maybe Beam, when Cooley was bought, inherited those supermarket contracts. Not a clue, me, since I do not know enough about business.
But I do know the amount of new distilleries coming on stream could not possibly be supported by this section of the market.

Jameson caskmates stout edition only €25 in Tesco. Picked up a bottle today. It’s fantastic stuff. Lovely slight stout aftertaste from it really adds to to the flavour
I see this Christmas being explosive in many TFK Households. A hape of lads, suddenly whiskey experts off the back of a few forum posts, tearing into hundred euro bottles of whiskey. There’ll be a few divorce notices served by the new year.
