Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin

We are pleased to present a spirit that hails from an ancient Irish tradition, often referred to as the "Irish moonshine." Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin is a high-proof tribute to Ireland's oldest spirit. With a lineage stretching back to Irish monks in the 6th century, poitin (pronounced 'put-cheen') is a truly authentic and historical liquor, and Glendalough's rendition is an unmissable experience. Available exclusively at Third Base Market & Spirits, this poitin is a revelatory expression of Irish distillation craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes and Technical Description:

Visual Appearance:
In the glass, Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin is crystal-clear, reflecting its unaged character and triple-distillation process. Its clarity is a testament to the purity of the spirit.

Nose (Aroma):
Despite its potent strength, the nose is invitingly complex. It starts with robust, earthy tones of raw grains and freshly-cut grass, followed by softer notes of green apple and a hint of white pepper.

Palate (Taste):
The initial sip is surprisingly smooth, a true feat given its high ABV. It delivers a powerful punch of cereal grains and malty sweetness, coupled with a clean, vegetal undertone. The mid-palate sees a crescendo of spice, notably black pepper and a touch of clove, brightened by subtle citrus zest.

Finish:
Long, warm, and satisfying, the finish reverberates with a smattering of spicy and sweet notes, leaving behind a mouth-coating richness.

Mouthfeel:
Despite its mountainous strength, the mouthfeel is not overwhelmingly hot. The texture is medium-bodied, slightly oily, and it envelops the palate in a warming embrace that speaks to its potency.

Availability:
Given the unique and authentic nature of this spirit, we advise securing your bottle soon to partake in a sip of Irish history.

Pretty rough for a Glendalough

...and I quite like Glendalough. This one's too hot and sweet to really savor over and over, though it's not getting mixed on my bar. It's still a finishable bottle.
