Irish whiskey is one of the most popular liquors there is nowadays. It can be served in different occasions but is most popular at weddings and ceremonies. It signifies a couple's lasting relationship in a marriage as well as everlasting friendship among friends. It can also be found in restaurants and bars among others. The process in making Irish whiskeys is quite longer compared to that of the other types of whiskeys. It is distilled three times and is aged in an oak cast for at least three to four years.
There are different types of Irish whiskeys. There is the Single Malt Whiskey that comes from malted barley which is distilled by using a pot still. There is also the Grain Whiskey which comes from grain. This type of whiskey is distilled using a column still. Another type is the Blended Whiskey. This consists of different whiskeys blended together. Lastly, we have the Pure Pot Still Whiskey, the most unique kind among them all. This contains only "pot still whiskey". This kind is available in Ireland only.
Makers of Irish whiskey are very particular with heritage and tradition. The taste nowadays is still similar to that when it was first made. There are quite a number of manufacturers of Irish whiskey, but in this article, we will be discussing one of the finest in the industry - Kilbeggan.
The Old Kilbeggan Distillery is located in Brosna River in Co. Westmeath. It opened during 1757 therebymaking it the oldest licensed distillery there is. It is admirable to note that after all these years, they were able to preserve the quality of their product.
