Classic Poitin
Poitín is Ireland’s original spirit and the precursor to modern-day whiskey. Prior to cask aging, poitín and whiskey were essentially the same spirit, separated only by the buying of a license. Banned for over 200 years by a foreign parliament, poitín was traditionally distilled from malted grains such as barley, oats, wheat and rye, using whatever was available locally or in season at the time. The word poitín means ‘small pot’ in Irish, and refers to the small pot-still commonly used by illicit distillers.
A spicy, full-flavoured poitín made to an original family recipe, distilled using 100% Irish malted barley and a local Connemara botanical known as bogbean.
Distilled in our hybrid copper pot still, the spirit cuts are made through sensory analysis alone, giving an incredibly refined spirit.
Warm honey spice with vibrant fruits, distinct malt character, balancing floral notes and an elegant velvety texture.
