Welcome to GS1 Ireland members' news for week 34 2021. This week, the Irish whiskey passport is launched and a Cork distiller adopts a roundabout. Read on for more.
New ‘Irish Whiskey Passport’ launched
IrishWhiskey360° has launched the new 'Irish Whiskey Passport' as part of its summer campaign to encourage Irish staycationers to ‘Discover Ireland’s Whiskey Distilleries’. The initiative is part of the Irish Whiskey Association tourism initiative. Many Irish distilleries offer visitor experiences such as self-guided tours, outdoor tastings and cocktail experiences. The IrishWhiskey360° Passport represents a unique record of your journey through Irish whiskey distilleries whereby visitors can collect stamps at every distillery on their journey. Visitors who collect six stamps can become an IrishWhiskey360° Champion with special rewards (to be announced). Many GS1 Ireland members are taking part in the initiative including Teeling Whiskey, Dingle Distillery, Clonakilty Distillery and more.

West Cork Distillers adopts a roundabout
Roundabouts in Co. Cork are being offered up for ‘adoption’ and the spaces are available to companies to advertise. West Cork Distillers is the latest business to have taken the council up on the offer and has adopted a roundabout at Marsh Road on the N71 and has used a collection of whiskey barrels to promote the business at the busy junction. Cork County Council allows local businesses and community groups to sponsor the landscaping and maintenance of roundabouts for a set period of time. As a result of this new scheme, three roundabouts in Skibbereen have been given a makeover, courtesy of local businesses.
