Like his reputation the poitín would make its way from the lough above Meenacanon across ditch and stream, through hedgerows and handshakes to celebrate life. Today we carry on his way, unfiltered.
A throwback to poitín’s artisan roots, just softer and dazzling like the sparkle of the waves in Donegal bay.
Illicit yes. But never dishonest
Parts of Donegal declared independence rather than give up the right to distil.
In 1815, 5 times more stills were seized in Donegal then any other county.
Taste
A top of the palate tingle, creaminess of the oats, fresh citrus, earthy, a subtle but proud smoke and a subtle cold brew coffee.
Smoky, as it always was
Donegal was renowned for its love of smoky spirits – its why parliament whiskey failed here.
Unfiltered
Repecting Frank’s method, keeping the grain in all the way to the wash still means we capture all the smoky character of the grain all the time.
Nose
Citrusy orange, peanut brittle, coconut and earthy smoke.
ABV
47.8%
