Kilbeggan is a small town situated on the Brosna River in Co. Westmeath, renowned for the Kilbeggan Races and The Old Kilbeggan Distillery.
At the Kilbeggan Races punters can enjoy the only Racecourse in Ireland where races are over jumps under national hunt rules- the type of racing the Irish love best. That makes for an entertaining and heart-stopping spectacle and you are close enough to see the skill, excellence and bravery of man and animal.
The Old Kilbeggan Distillery, opened back in 1757, is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. A lot happens in 250 years but one thing has stood the test of time – the quality of Kilbeggan Irish whiskey. Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey was crowned Worldwide Whiskey of the Year when it collected the prestigious Brown Forman Trophy at the 2009 International Wine and Spirit Competition Awards banquet in London
