THE DETERMINED FEW

Years after the people of Kilbeggan came together to revive their distillery, this close-knit group arrives each morning determined to help it continue to thrive. From Office Manager to Distiller, each member plays a different role, but they are all dedicated to making sure Kilbeggan's legacy is both remembered and built upon.

“THIS PLACE WOULD BE DOWN ON THE GROUND IF NOT FOR THE LOCAL KILBEGGAN PEOPLE”
WILLIAM MEALLY
THE CARETAKER

A WORD WITH WILLIAM MEALLY, THE CARETAKER

I treat this building like my own house. You have to protect her and she has to be looked after. You have to work out how to fix things. You can't just drill a hole, or knock down a wall, or paint over something. You have to treat her with a lot of respect and care.

My favorite view is from the top  platform, looking across from the fermenters, out onto the river. Look  left, look right and you can see the old pot stills, you  can see the ctesiphon, you can see all the River Brosna, the waterfalls and the islands.  Absolutely beautiful.

If you go up there when they're  fermenting, it's a gorgeous smell. First thing in the morning, it smells  like porridge. It's warm, like brown bread. As the day goes  on, it turns to a cider smell, like apples. That's the nicest smell in the whole place.
