Analysis

For those who are seeking more Single Grain Irish Whiskies — your wish is about to come true. The Kilbeggan Single Grain Irish is pushing out to stores and bars in America now (fall 2017). This Whiskey joins Beam's other grain Whiskey, Greenore that has been created from the same source at their distillery in County Louth. We prefer the Greenore at the moment. Grain Whiskey fans will be seeing a number of Single Grain Irish being introduced this fall so clear some space on your bar.

How to Enjoy

Sip neat, over ice, or perhaps in your favorite Whiskey cocktail.
