A Brooklyn distillery is in hot water this week after labeling its American-made spirit as “Irish-style.”
The Irish Whiskey Association (IWA) claims that the Kings County Distillery’s labeling of its year-old whiskey is misleading to consumers, and served the Brooklyn-based company with a cease-and-desist letter on June 1. The minimalist labeling on the 375 ml bottle states that the spirit is an “Irish style American whiskey.”
