When the doors of the Kilbeggan Distillery were shut in 1953, the people of Kilbeggan could’ve easily accepted defeat. They could’ve acknowledged that times had changed, and that fate had dealt them more than their share of bad breaks. They would do no such thing. The distillery meant too much to too many in the town. They would never let its smokestack be reduced to a monument, no matter what the world threw at them.
The fact that Kilbeggan Distillery is alive and well is a testament to the people who live here today. The process used to distill the whiskey is a testament to the people who came before. The same pot stills from centuries ago are still on-site, and the whiskey still runs through a building erected well before the advent of electricity.
Kilbeggan is a traditional Irish Whiskey double distilled the old way, to preserve more flavour whilst retaining the classic Irish smoothness.
