The Story

About Kilbeggan Traditional Irish Whiskey

Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey is produced in traditional Irish fashion — once the mash is made from cereals of grain and barley, along with pure Irish spring water, the resulting wort is transferred to wooden washbacks to ferment. The fermented liquid is then double-distilled in copper pot stills, which allows the whiskey to retain many of the raw flavors of its ingredients. Incredibly, the second distillation is done through the oldest working pot still in Ireland, which is over 180 years old.

After distillation, Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey is placed in ex-bourbon casks and left to age for three years inside Kilbeggan Distillery's 200-year-old granite warehouses. This aging gives the whiskey a clean nose, with aromas of breakfast cereal and green apple. The palate is lush, with a pronounced malt and honey character, and leads to a long, delicate finish with spices, grape notes and oak all coming together.

About Kilbeggan

Kilbeggan Distillery, Ireland's oldest operating distillery, was founded by Matthias McManus in 1757 on the banks of the River Brosna, where there is an abundance of the three essential ingredients for making whiskey — water, grains, and turf. McManus passed the distillery down to his son, John, who managed the distillery until the turn of the century when John was executed for his part in a local uprising against English rule.

Over the next two centuries, the distillery's ownership changed hands frequently, and after a severe Irish depression in the 1920s and 1930s, the distillery closed down for good in 1957 and began to fall into disrepair. Fortunately, the local community rallied around Kilbeggan Distillery, restoring the distillery and, with the help of Irishman John Teeling and his Cooley Distillery — the first new distillery in Ireland in over 100 years — opening and recommencing production at the new Kilbeggan Distillery in 2007.

About Irish Whiskey

Contrary to popular belief that Scots invented whisk(e)y, Irish whiskey was mentioned almost a century before its Scottish brother.

Its origin comes from the perfume distilling monks who decided to tweak the recipe a bit, creating Irish whiskey.

Irish whiskey doesn’t have a lot of rules and regulations to be considered “pure” and can be made with various grains and processes, as long as it is aged for at least three years in wooden casks and has a max ABV of 94.8%.
