• ALT1 ... that serial entrepreneur John Teeling broke the monopoly in Irish whiskey held by Irish Distillers by launching Cooley Distillery and reopening Kilbeggan Distillery?

• This article is new enough and long enough. I am approving the reduced ALT1 hook but not the original, but otherwise the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ is not needed this time but you can do one for practice if you like! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:23, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
