From the two copper pot stillsat Ireland's oldest licensed distillery, this mixed mash of malt, barley and oats was inspired by Locke family recipes from the late 1800s. A soft, mellow whiskey with a warming palate of citrus, summer fruits, fresh mint, and a lingering spice that precedes a rich, creamy finish influenced by the oats.

… Kilbeggan bottled a gem of an Irish whiskey that sparkled brighter than them all. … with citrus peel, apricot, and roasted hazelnut flavors leading to a mellow, rounded finish, adeptly exhibiting a crisp articulation of pot still spiciness throughout.
Fresh cut apple and a hint of smoke lead the nose. The robust, flavorful palate offers a surprising plummy note, finishing long and drying with cayenne and clove heat. Altogether, the pleasing effect is like spice cake doused in whiskey.
Pot still spices hit the nose first, with candied peel, baked peach, apricot, creamy vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground pepper. Flavors of orange, apricot, cake, and vanilla combat fizzing pot still spices. Sublimely good Irish whiskey.
The aroma of this whiskey falls on the breakfast-y side with toasted nutty cereal along with sweet honey and light vanilla notes. … Not too complex, but a nice dram to have along side a pint of beer.
