BORDEAUX, France -- A team from the Hot Irishman ’s (based in Carlow, Ireland) poured 24 bottles of their Irish Coffee, 45 litres of boiling water and eight litres of cream into a specially commissioned 70-litre glass which stands four-feet tall-setting the world record for the Largest Irish Coffee .

  The Carlow team managed to successfully break the world record which was held by an American crew who in 2008 only managed to make a 56-litre glass of Irish coffee.

   The record-breaking event took place in the France at Vinexpo, which is a drink industry trade show.

   The Carlow company, which is run by Bernard and Rosemary Walsh , decided to embark on the unusual task of breaking a Guinness world record to celebrate the ten years that Hot Irishman ’s has been in business.
