Kilbeggan is named after St Bécán, one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland who founded a monastery in the area in the 6th century. Smooth and malty.
The nose is smooth and gentle with nut oils, hazelnut and barley, cereal sweetness and a little peat. The palate is of good body with honeyed sweetness and malt. The finish is short with oaked dryness.
I'll say! In this price range this one (and Powers) are more my style. More traditional flavours here, if that is what you consider a good thing. I do! Some people think that Irish whiskey has to be blended to the point of neutral honey sweetness. That's cool. I'll take this one though. Much more robust and yet as smooth as you would expect!
I was lucky enough to find this fine Traditional Irish Whiskey in one of our local stores. I must say after years of looking for an exceptional Whiskey that I can enjoy, it is great that I found this one. It is smooth, yet distinctly flavorful and it seems to me that it is a very pure and properly produced Whiskey. Much appreciation to Kilbeggan for crafting such a superb Whiskey. I will continue to enjoy this wonderful product as long as I draw breath. No more searching :)
The only thing i dislikw about this whiskey is the added coloring agent "Caramel color", please make this fine whiskey without added Caramel color. That would be great. Thank You!
If you do not change things they will stay as they are,and that is fantastic. Keep up the great work,your distillers have heavenly hands. Truly one from the gods.
The only alcohol that I drink is Irish Whiskey and I've tried numerous brands. Had my first bottle of Kilbeggan last November and I was stunned at how good it is for the price, so much so that I bought 6 bottles. Need I say more?
