Kilbeggan 10 Years Single Malt Whisky

Kilbeggan Distillery, originally established as Locke's Distillery in 1757, stands as one of Ireland's most historic whiskey producers, operating continuously on the same site for nearly two centuries. The distillery's most treasured artifact was the world's oldest working copper pot still, a testament to its deep-rooted heritage. Tragically, economic hardships of the mid-20th century forced the distillery to sell this iconic still in the late 1950s, ultimately leading to cessation of production in 1954 and final closure in 1957. The distillery lay silent for decades until its resurrection in 1987 when John Teeling, a visionary independent whiskey entrepreneur who founded Cooley Distillery, acquired the historic property from the Locke family. Teeling meticulously restored Kilbeggan to its former glory, returning whiskey production to Ireland's oldest licensed distillery site. Today, Kilbeggan honors its 18th-century roots while crafting exceptional Irish whiskey, embodying resilience, tradition, and the unwavering spirit of Irish distilling.
