Killowen Bulcán Irish Poitín – Part 1 – Still Strength
Part 1 of a 2 part Bulcan poitin release from Killowen Distillery. This Poitin is older than whiskey, older than moonshine and was the ancient drop of choice at Irish funerals and wakes. Due to the huge oat content, this spirit is extremely viscous,with liquorice flavours in abundance, custard cream, white dessert wine and leathery texture thanks to the oat’s oily goodness.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Finish
Chocolate somehow enters the well-balanced flavour party here with the returning white grape, there is a sensation of a barnyard along with a fresh bread finish. In the end there is a real warming in the chest that is most comforting, a heat that somehow escaped the palate thanks again to the oily goodness of the oats.
Tasting Notes from the Producer
Aromas (without water)
The first sensation is of a huge sweetness which is later established as a bag of liquorice all-sorts. It is quite floral, like honeysuckle while bridging these notes is treacle, wheaten bread (or brow bread as they call it in the south) with a hint of pulled pork or other salty meat.
Flavour
Again, liquorice all-sorts are in abundance. Custard cream biscuits in a bowl of custard on one hand with white desert wine and white grapes on the other. All this sits on a very lathery texture thanks to the oat’s oily goodness.
