Kilbeggan Whiskey

Kilbeggan has been distilling since 1757, making it one of the oldest licensed names in Irish whiskey history. The distillery once housed the world's oldest still-working waterwheel, which still powers part of production to this day. After a period of closure, Kilbeggan was rescued by Cooley founder John Teeling and later Beam Suntory, and the name now lives on as one of Ireland's most historic brands.

About Kilbeggan

Kilbeggan is an Irish whiskey from one of the country's oldest distilleries, known for its historic waterwheel, which is still operating. For a newcomer, it's a light, sweet, approachable Irish whiskey; for the connoisseur, Kilbeggan is a symbol of the Irish whiskey revival - a name that survived decades of closure thanks to enthusiasts like John Teeling, and today, under Beam Suntory, has become one of the best-selling Irish whiskeys globally.

History & Background

The distillery survived Irish whiskey's darkest years through the 20th century, partly because its old water wheel and equipment were preserved as a museum even as production stood idle for decades. When Cooley Distillery resumed production in 2007, the Kilbeggan name was revived as a light, accessible blended whiskey brand, and the distillery today also functions as a visitor centre.

Production & Style

Kilbeggan is a blend of malt and grain whiskey, matured in ex-bourbon casks, giving a light, accessible style focused on softness over complexity.

Signature Style

Light, Soft, Accessible
Vanilla and light honey sweetness meet a fresh grain character from the grain whiskey – a whiskey easy to drink and easy to like.
