Kilbeggan

Ireland's Oldest Licensed Distillery

The distillery survived famine, war, and neglect before being rescued by a group of local volunteers who kept the waterwheel turning. Beam Suntory's investment brought full production back, and Kilbeggan now honours its 250+ year heritage with traditional Irish whiskey.
