Kilbeggan

The Kilbeggan distillery was built in 1757, in the very heart of Ireland. It has been known for a long time, along with the "Tyrconnell", "Inishowen", and "Dockx" distilleries. The distillery was founded by Matthias McManus in 1757. As a truly talented businessman, he managed to keep the business going even in 1798, which saw a major uprising and, as a result, conditions of political instability in the country. Nevertheless, the quality of the products remained unchanged throughout these difficult times, until the era of Prohibition. The next period was marked by a slight decline, but competent management and leadership changed the situation, restoring and even increasing the quality of the whiskey. But in 1957, the distillery was closed. In 1988, the Kilbeggan production came into the ownership of the Cooley distillery. The "Kilbeggan" brand was revived, a new, attractive packaging design was developed, and in 1994, "Kilbeggan" whiskey took a strong and successful position in the market.
