Kilbeggan Launches Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
Kilbeggan Distilling Company has launched Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, a limited edition, mixed mash whiskey double distilled from malted barley, raw barley, and a small portion (2.5%) of oats in Kilbeggan’s old copper pot stills. The inclusion of oats in the mash was inspired by recipes used at Kilbeggan Distillery through the late 1800s.
The second limited release to be 100 percent distilled and matured at Kilbeggan Distillery since its restoration in 2010, Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey follows the release of Kilbeggan Small Batch Rye, distilled from a malted barley, raw barley, and 30% rye mash.
Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) and is described as having aromas of “apple, pear, melon, jasmine, hazelnut, and a hint of honeycomb sweetness”, a “creamy” mouthfeel with notes of “spice, summer fruits, citrus, and fresh mint leaf flavor”, concluding with a “lingering spice and dry” finish.
Kilbeggan Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey will be available in the United States beginning this month at a suggested retail price of $44.99 for 750 mL bottle.
