Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin 500ML

ABV 55% 

Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitín brings us a little closer to the powerful and legendary spirit of old. With the same depth of flavour of the original, the strong and flavoursome Mountain Strength builds on the spicy and woody side of the taste profile. Take it with a drop of water for the real authentic feel, neat if you have the bottle, or into cocktails and mixed drinks for an extra kick. Enjoy it for the ‘real experience’ it offers, but be careful with this one Poitín was first made with expertise and reverence, around the 6th century, by Irish monks, the master distillers of their time. In 1661 it was outlawed and forced into the wilderness, where it enjoyed an illicit romanticism. Remote glens where the winds swept through, broke up the smoke from the peat fires, and kept prying eyes, and the law, away. Over the next few hundred years it lived in whispered infamy between chancers, bowsies and divils. Amongst winks, nods and backhanders. Until now. Glendalough
