Glendalough Premium Poitin

This item is archived.

Carefully crafted from an old recipe, Glendalough's Premium Poitin is distilled from malted barley and sugar beet. It is then matured in Irish oak.  A curiosity neat, this has cocktails written all over it.

Before there was whisk(e)y, there was poitin, the original water of life. This spirit was made from malted barley and sugar beet, and after their introduction, potatos. In 1661 it was banned by King Charles which drove it into the wilderness. Poitin was the first moonshine.
