Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin
$58.99
"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."

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.

Bottled at 42% this single grain Irish whiskey was matured in both Bourbon and Sherry casks. It has been bottled at 42%.
Our Scotchguy Andrew sampled a pre-release cask strength version, we can't wait to sample the bottled release.
Distiller's Tasting Note
The nose is slight but undoubtedly rich with dark fruit; cherry, raisin, fig (with Christmas pudding notes on the nose for those lucky enough to know what that is) along with floral lemongrass and a touch of nutmeg.
The taste is sweet and creamy on the palate, with butterscotch, honey and peppercorn bringing along sweet Bourbon Cask notes with dried fruit returning through notes of maraschino cherries and a pinch of brown sugar.
The finish has lingering notes of ginger spices with a faint glimmer of almond to end a complex Irish Whiskey from start to finish.
