Old Mirror from Kilbeggan Distillery
- Details
In the past, distilleries produced advertising material with their distillery, brand and drinks names on mirrors, signs, etc. These were given out to pubs who sold their products. Some of these advertisements still adorn the walls of pubs to this day. They have survived the ups and downs of the whiskey industry and are a nostalgic reminder of the old good times and the often forgotten brands and distilleries of old.

At the time these twenty-eight distilleries produced 60% of whiskey worldwide with as many as 400 different brand names.
