One of Ireland’s leading suppliers of spirits and producer of some of the world’s most well-known Irish whiskeys has confirmed price hikes across a portion of its portfolio from next month.

Irish Distillers told the Irish Examiner that it was in the process of communicating price increases to its customers, which will mark the distiller's first price hike since August 2023.
