New Whiskey Brand Aims To Outfox The Market
In this month’s Meet the Makers series, in partnership with Love Irish Food, Maev Martin talks to Alice Carroll, co-founder of Foxes Bow Whiskey, about why their two-year-old brand represents a ‘vibrant, modern Ireland.’
Like many great ideas, this one started in a bar. A few years ago, Foxes Bow Whiskey co-founder Tony Foote was drinking in a well-stocked whiskey bar in San Francisco.
Looking up at the shelves, he noticed that a lot of the whiskeys featured traditional black or green packaging with gold foil and focused on the heritage of whiskey.
“He didn’t see anything on the shelf that represented his tastes as a younger consumer, and there was nothing that represented the modern, contemporary Ireland that he is so proud to be from,” says Alice.
A financial accountant by trade, Tony had been working with Google in San Francisco for many years.
“His observations in that whiskey bar put a fire his belly to create something representative of modern Ireland, and of him as a modern whiskey consumer,” she says.
