Description

Description:

Rich gold colour. Gentle nose, showing nuts and grain sweetness and perhaps a little peat. Medium bodied, honeyed and smooth malty flavours, drier woody notes appear on the finish.

Kilbeggan is distilled twice, first at Cooley, the second distillation takes place in their 200 year old copper pot still at the original distillery. The new spirit is also matured at Kilbeggan in the original 18th century warehouses, it lies in ex-Bourbon casks for at least 3 years - often more - until it achieves the character the master blender requires.
