Kilbeggan Distillery was established in 1757 by Matthias McManus in the town of Kilbeggan.

 

The term “single grain” refers to whiskey made in a single location using malted barley and at least one other grain. In this case, 94% of the mash bill is made of corn, with the other 6% being malted barley.

 

Kilbeggan Traditional whiskey is distilled twice, and after ageing in ex-bourbon barrels for a minimum of four years, it is finished in a marriage of ex-bourbon and different fortified wine barrels for character and complexity.
