Long before there was Irish whiskey there was poitin potcheen. Every distilled drink across the world from rum to gin, to vodka or absinthe, you name it, can trace its ancestry straight back to poitin. Nose Slight in nature and might fool you. If you didn't know better you might sense a faint Riesling fragrance, no less. Oak, berried fruit, gooseberries and blackcurrants are in there. Taste Creamy and mellow in the mouth and hangs on the tongue with a trace of lychees. Touches of vanilla and toasty oak throughout also. A very full flavoured poitin that goes down nicely. Finish A good length of finish, it's lingering and warming and sweet, if slightly salty.
