Irish Moonshine

–  Poitin 50

A must for anyone with Irish ancestry, this legendary Irish moonshine has been outlawed for some 250 years, and has only recently been legalised for consumption again.

Poitin - So called, because it was distilled in small pots. For centuries, Poitin has been produced in pot-stills under the bright moon, and because of this, came to be known as moonshine. The home-brew was strong, and had a distinctive dry grainy flavour with a delicate aftertaste that became sweeter as it developed.

This legendary Irish moonshine was outlawed in 1760 and has only recently been legalised for consumption again.

More precisely, in 1661 King Charles II introduced a levy on spirits in the United Kingdom. In Ireland however it was totally ignored, but ninety nine years later the Crown tried again by outlawing private distillation unless specifically licensed by the State. Overnight a large proportion of the Irish population became "criminals" as has anyone who has distilled it privately since.

Poitin 50 uses the finest ingredients lovingly blended for that authentic Poitin flavour.
