KILBEGGAN SINGLE POT STILL IRISH WHISKEY

Exclusively matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, the Kilbeggan Single Pot Still is comprised of unmalted barley, malted barley and 2.5% oats which was double distilled through two copper pot stills at Ireland’s oldest licensed distillery. The mash bill was inspired by recipes used at the Kilbeggan Distillery in the late 1800s, when oats would have been grown across the Midlands region in Ireland. Warming flavours of citrus and herbaceous notes followed by a creamy, oily pot still spice.

Among this year’s strong field of new single pot still releases, Kilbeggan bottled a gem of an Irish whiskey that sparkled brighter than them all. The already historic whiskey style achieves a powerful air of authenticity. First it’s distilled in the oldest working pot still in Ireland, and the 19th-century Locke family recipe incorporates 2.5% oats, a common addition at the time. Melon, candied peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, and honeysuckle aromas cascade into a palate made especially lush and creamy from the oats, with citrus peel, apricot, and roasted hazelnut flavors leading to a mellow, rounded finish, adeptly exhibiting a crisp articulation of pot still spiciness throughout. —Jonny McCormick
