Whiskey Kilbeggan, 40%, 1 l

Kilbeggan is a traditional Blended Irish Whiskey from Ireland with roots dating back to the Kilbeggan Distillery, founded in 1757, one of the oldest licensed distilleries in the country. The brand is now part of Beam Suntory and produced using whiskeys from Cooley Distillery, reflecting classic Irish whiskey character.

Bottled at 40 % ABV, Kilbeggan is a blend of malt and grain whiskeys and typically carries no age statement (NAS), though components are matured in oak casks for several years.

Nose: light and inviting with honeyed sweetness, vanilla, cereals and orchard fruit (apple, pear), with a hint of citrus peel.
Palate: smooth, balanced, with caramel, vanilla and toasted grain flavours, leading to a medium, gentle finish with soft spice and grain notes.

Colour: pale golden.

Serving temperature: ideally 16–18 °C to fully express aroma and flavour.
Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a component in classic cocktails (Irish Coffee, Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour).

Food pairing: apple pie, vanilla or honey desserts, fresh fruits and mild cheeses.
