"Before there was whiskey, there was poitín. Poitín was the origin of the species, the original 'water of life.' It’s Ireland’s gift to the world, one of the first spirits ever to be distilled," according to the team at Glendalough. "Earliest records from 584AD show that Irish monastic settlements, like Glendalough, were the birthplace of distilling in Ireland. Poitín was first made with expertise and reverence by Irish monks, like St. Kevin.They were the master distillers of their time, and the only distillers of their time. The knowledge just didn’t exist outside of the monasteries."
