Kilbeggan Single Grain Irish Whiskey
Founded in 1757 by Matthias McManus, Kilbeggan Distillery, Ireland's oldest active distillery, sits on the Brosna riverbanks, abundant in whiskey-making essentials: water, grains, and turf. Passed to John McManus, he managed it until his execution during a local uprising. Ownership changed hands often for two centuries. After closing in 1957, local efforts and John Teeling's Cooley Distillery helped reopen Kilbeggan in 2007. This single grain whiskey, made from 94% corn and 6% malted barley, ferments in wooden washbacks and is double-distilled in copper pot stills, preserving raw flavors. The second distillation uses Ireland's oldest pot still. Aged in former bourbon casks for a minimum of four years.
