Poitin
Poitín, often referred to as the original Irish spirit, is a traditional Irish distilled beverage with a history dating back over a thousand years. Made from various base ingredients like barley, potatoes, or sugar beets, poitín was originally produced in small, illicit stills, leading to its reputation as a potent moonshine. The drink was outlawed in Ireland for several centuries, from 1661 until 1997, due to its high alcohol content and unregulated production.
Today, poitín is legally produced and has seen a resurgence in popularity, with many distilleries crafting it using traditional methods but with modern controls. It typically ranges from 40% to 90% alcohol by volume, offering a raw and intense flavor that varies depending on the ingredients and distillation process. Poitín is celebrated for its cultural significance and its robust, unfiltered taste, making it a unique and historic spirit in the world of alcohol.
