Murphy Distributors Launches Spirits Division

New Haven, CT, July 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Murphy Distributors located in Branford, CT is proud to announce the launch of its Spirits division. Concurrent with the launch of the division is the new distribution of Kennedy's, a line of fine Irish whiskey in the United States. Murphy Distributors is the exclusive distributor of Kennedy's in Connecticut.

Kennedy's Whiskey was born out of passion and dedication for the ancient art of Celtic distilling in a rural fishing village in the southwest coast of Ireland. West Cork Distillers was founded in 2008 in Union Hall, West Cork, Ireland, by three life-long friends. The Kennedy name is part of their heritage and two of them were deep sea fishermen all their lives. Distilling first originated in Ireland hundreds of years ago.

"Kennedy’s Whiskey is a delicate fusion of the finest Celtic whiskies and malt to insure a unique, and exceptional drinking experience," said Matthew Murphy, president of Murphy Distributors. "What makes this whiskey different is that it is matured in Irish and Bourbon cask oak using an old world proprietary infusion process. It is then steeped in malt through an artisan. This steeping process insures a smooth and clean finish with a full flavor," Murphy added.

Since its inception 6 years ago, Murphy Distributors has become the fastest growing distributor of Fine Wine, Craft Beer and Artisan Spirits in Connecticut. The wine, beer and spirits business is among the most competitive industries in the U.S. How does a distributor separate itself from the rest? Murphy explains that products are exclusive to the distributor in Connecticut but the retail shelf space is the brass ring. Having a different set of products and using a competitive edge to make Murphy Distributors more valuable to their customers is what it is all about.

"We are delighted to include Kennedy's Irish whiskey to our growing distribution of spirits. The Kennedy's brand is synonymous with our rapidly developing reputation to place and grow supplier brands in key Connecticut accounts," he added.

Please ask your local spirits retailer if they carry Kennedy's. For more information, contact Murphy Distributors at 203.483.3100 or email them at info@murphydist.com.
