Spirits Reviews
Kilbeggan Blended Irish Whiskey
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose reveals a grain focused Whiskey with hints of clover honey, orange zest, and black pepper, with hints of clove, and a green grassy accent. The palate delivers on the promise of the nose. It’s very malty with a generous dose of honey and soft brown baking spice notes. Medium-bodied plus with a silky, lush core with semisweet malt notes. $23.99 – 4 Stars

Brilliant, dark ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of black currant and smoked meat with supporting notes of forest floor, black tea, graphite, dried herbs, and baking spices. The palate echoes the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black plum, black cherry, five spice, mineral, and oak. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a chewy texture. $65 4.5 Stars/96 points
