Kilbeggan® 18YO is World’s Best Blended Irish Whiskey
Kilbeggan® 18YO Irish whiskey has been named Best Irish Blended Whiskey in the world for the second year running at the 2013 World Whisky Awards (WWA). The Kilbeggan Distilling Company, which is part of Beam, collected four awards at the prestigious industry awards event.
The Kilbeggan® 18 Years Old was selected as the Best Irish Blended Whiskey and Best Irish Blended Whiskey 13 to 20 Years by a panel of international judges comprised of drinks media, master blenders, distillers and industry representatives. Kilbeggan Irish whiskey is distilled and aged at the 256 year old Kilbeggan Distillery in County Westmeath, Ireland, the country’s oldest operating distillery.
