Michael Egan: Celebrating Irish History
Kilbeggan U.S. brand ambassador Michael Egan joined #TasteWithSpace on March 5 to demonstrate how to make an Irish coffee, and discuss the brand s single pot still whiskey.
Kilbeggan is Ireland’s oldest continually licensed distillery: It opened in 1757 and survived famine, world wars, Prohibition, and more before going silent in the 1950s. After being revived in 1989 and restarting distilling in 2007, it is now a leader of the
Irish whiskey renaissance. Brand ambassador Michael Egan joined Whisky Advocate’s
#TasteWithSpace Instagram Live series on March 5 to discuss Kilbeggan’s history and longevity.
“There were multiple opportunities for it to shut down and fail,” Egan said. “It’s a testament to the people that work there, the whiskey that they made, their level of resilience, [that they] never gave up and there was still that demand for Irish whiskey as a category and as a result, Kilbeggan.”

Making it to the Whisky Advocate Top 20 list four years in a row, what an honor!!!!
Why is this such a great honor you might ask?
Well, their “Top 20 is a selection of whiskies worthy of your attention. The list includes great values that might otherwise be overlooked, whiskies that are best in class for their style, and highly accomplished bottles you should be looking for. Most importantly, each of these whiskies generates excitement and marks a highlight across a year of tasting.”
“An important step in gauging the true merit of these whiskies is blind tasting review by a panel of international reviewers. The review panel tasted the eligible whiskies in a series of blind tasting flights to arrive at the final list. The panel did not know the identity of the whiskies being tasted not their producer, country of origin, age, nor price.
