"Poitin, or Poteen has been brewed as Irish strong moonshine for several centuries, being a potatoe or malt and grain based spirit. Knockeen Hills Poteen(R) is a triple distilled grain spirit with a strong, smooth, delicate flavour. Drunk neat, in moderation, or with mixers, the pleasant after taste lingers on.
"Butler's Irish book published in 1660 claimed that 'It enlighteneth ye heart, casts off melancholy, keeps back old age and breaketh ye wind'. Irish folklore maintains that those properties still exist today."
This is a very good spirit, in spite of the legend saying that real poitin is not commercialised. In fact, poitin used to be illegal in Ireland until 1997, when the opposition to sale was withdrawn. It's fuity and surprisingly smooth for such a strong spirit.
60% ABV. Read more on Knockeen Hills website.
