Kilbeggan Small Batch Rye is a notable expression from the historic Kilbeggan Distillery, also known as Brusna or Locke's, founded by Matthew MacManus in Westmeath, Ireland, in 1757. This 2018 bottling exemplifies the resilience and craft of the Kilbeggan Distillery, which enjoyed a golden era during the 1840s under John Locke’s stewardship but faced significant challenges in the 20th century, including a closure from 1924-1931 and a political scandal in 1947. This whiskey is distinguished as the first to be fully distilled and matured at Kilbeggan Distillery since its restoration in 2010, highlighting a return to traditional production methods. Incorporating a blend of malt, barley, and an exceptional 30% rye, Kilbeggan Small Batch Rye harks back to the 1890s when many major Irish distilleries used rye in their mash. However, this spicy grain all but disappeared from Irish whiskey production around the time of Prohibition and the Irish War of Independence. Pouring a glass of Kilbeggan Small Batch Rye, one is greeted by a symphony of aromas, including citrus fruits, soft ginger, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers a delightful blend of cinnamon, forest floor, and sweet floral notes. The finish is long and nuanced, with a thick butter coating and subtle vanilla notes, making each sip a memorable experience. FAQs
