Kilbeggan Distillery Experience
The Kilbeggan Distillery is the oldest distillery in the world dating back to 1757 and the home of Kilbeggan Irish whiskey. The Kilbeggan Distillery Experience offers a unique opportunity to see a fully operational traditional Irish pot still whiskey distillery, while enjoying a historical tour of the old distillery which includes the waterwheel and original distilling machinery. The old distillery has been maintained as a museum just as it was during John Locke's ownership in the 19th century. The current distillery contains the oldest working pot still in the world and has a cooperage on show for all visitors. With guided tours or the opportunity to explore at your own leisure, each tour ends with a complimentary sample of the award winning Kilbeggan Irish whiskey. Open year around and weekends with a whiskey bar, gift shop, free car and coach parking and restaurant. A visit to Kilbeggan Distillery is a unique experience not to be missed!
