It's reasonably smooth and flavorful, doesn't need mixed to enjoy it at least. I really enjoy my whiskeys from glenmorangie to Glenfiddich.

Was in Athlone in july Bought a few bottles of Kilbeggan Whiskey from the distillery. Beautiful smooth taste, 1 of my favorites i have to say.

Will be buying a Case in the new year. I have had Jamesons and Paddy before and found Kilbeggan a bit of a disappoinment to my palate - I usually expect a more peaty flavour from an Irish whiskey.

I was turned on to this by a tour guide in Ireland 6 years ago and it has been my go to whiskey ever since, I was settling for Jameson before that, but this not only made me reconsider my choice, but also led me to explore other lesser known entry level Irish Whiskeys, glad I did because there are many other great ones that aren't as well known as Jameson such as Powers, Tyrconnell, and Teeling, this is stil my favorite though.

My grand children bought me a bottle for Christmas, which I opened and poured a sizable glass there and then.

I thought it a little harsh at the time so I put the lid back on and continued the day with my bottle of Scotch. However, after a month or so when the Scotch had run out I took a dram of the Kilbeggan.

A different feel about it altogether. Smooth and full in the mouth. Had some of the harshness evaporated into the airspace at the top of the bottle??

Who knows, but its a lovely drop now. Loved it. Was given a little bottle and will be getting a big one. Tons of character if enjoyed in a good glass.

This is now my favourite blend. I like Irish whiskey for its smoothness. This whiskey is harsher than some moonshines I have drank straight from the still.

A dodgy dram for the price. This is my first taste of your whiskey. I think it is grand. Diolch yn fawr, as they sat here in Wales.

I only drink Irish whiskey. That being said there is not much of a selection here in Portland. This might be the worst Irish whiskey I have ever tried.

Leaves you with a bit of a hang over if not careful, which is unlike most Irish whiskey. Tried a bottle bought at a duty-free shop. Lost your password?
