Summary

Description

Presenting the world's oldest continuously licensed whiskey distillery at Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath! Promised oaktree_brian_1976 a photo of a distillery, and hope this will suffice, although I'm sorry we don't have an interior shot. Happily, the date 1902 appears on one of the barrels, so perhaps 1903 can be our starting date?

Here's some info on the history of the distillery from Kilbeggan's own web site, but be warned, you'll have to enter your date of birth.  :)
