This has an incredibly long and silky finish that carries through the warm spry grains and a dry citrus oil.

The nose has a lovely subtle sweetness of icing sugar, lemon Sherbet, with a delicious character of warm, freshly baked soda bread behind the citrus.
Flavour
The palate is thick and oily, which gives a luxurious silky mouthfeel. This is complemented by a spry gingery palate, with notes of lemon sherbet coming to the fore, with a slight hint of cracked black pepper and coriander seeds at the back of the palate.

FAQs
Traditional Irish poitín is produced by fermenting a cereal or sugar base, typically malted barley, grain, or sugar beet, and distilling in a small pot still, historically an illicit copper vessel. The new make spirit is typically consumed unaged at a high proof, giving it the raw grain, vegetal, and fiery character that defines the style. Modern legal producers including Glendalough, Micil, and Knockeen Hills use similar methods but with full regulatory compliance and consistent quality control.
Irish poitín is made from a variety of fermentable bases depending on the producer. Traditionally, malted barley, sugar beet, or grain was used. Modern legal poitín producers including Glendalough and Micil use malted barley and or grain as the primary fermentable, reflecting a heritage production approach. Under Irish Poitín Geographical Indication regulations, it must be produced in Ireland at a minimum of 40% ABV from natural ingredients. The unaged character gives it a raw grain, herbal, and high proof intensity.
The closest American equivalent to Irish poitín is moonshine, specifically unaged corn whiskey or white whiskey produced from a grain mash. Both are traditionally illicit, unaged spirits produced in small copper pot stills from local agricultural materials. American moonshine culture developed among Scots Irish immigrant communities in Appalachia, making the cultural and technical lineage direct rather than coincidental. Legal American white whiskeys such as Buffalo Trace White Dog and Ole Smoky represent the contemporary regulated expression of the moonshine tradition.
