ISHKA Irish Spring Water is proud to announce its success at the prestigious 2024 British Bottlers Institute (BBI) Competition. The company’s Still Water received a Gold Medal, while its Sparkling Water was awarded a Diploma for Excellence, underscoring the quality and purity of ISHKA’s products.

The BBI Competition, a globally recognised event running for nearly 70 years, evaluates beverages through a rigorous blind tasting conducted by a panel of seasoned industry experts. Competing against some of the best bottled waters globally, ISHKA stood out for its superior taste and quality.

Sourced from natural springs in Ballyneety, Limerick, ISHKA is one of Ireland’s largest bottled water companies.

Mike Sutton, Director at ISHKA, commented on the achievement: “Winning Gold for our Still Water and a Diploma for Excellence for our Sparkling Water is a proud moment for our team. It highlights the care, craftsmanship, and dedication we put into every drop of ISHKA water. It’s a privilege to share a taste of Ireland’s natural beauty with our customers.”

Ed Binsted, President of the British Bottlers Institute, praised ISHKA’s accomplishment: “A wonderful achievement for ISHKA to gain a Gold Award for their Still Spring Water eclipsing their previous success. To also be awarded a Diploma for Excellence for their Sparkling Spring Water proves the quality of their products and very well deserved.”

Future-proofing the business, ISHKA has recently invested €4.5 Million on a new line, creating 10 new jobs.
