I drank the illegal stuff back in Ireland as a young man, and we accepted it was poteen: moonshine , hooch, whatever. Rough as guts, strong enough to blow your head clean off. You know what I mean. we didn't drink it to appreciate it's subtle flavours, we drank it to get p!$$ed. However, in my more mature years, I got this stuff (John O'Connell's) again from the whisky exchange, for nostalgic reasons, I suppose. And this time I tried to appreciate the stuff. The nonsense your so-called connoisseurs talk is unbelievable. They liken poteen to petrol and acetone (nail varnish remover). At 72% alcohol, I was impressed that if you sip it slowly and carefully, it was still possible to drink small quantities of it neat. And what do the flavours remind me of? Poteen, the old illegal gut rot I used to drink, and liquorice! Definitely worth a try.

Fantastic one of the best alcoholic drinks in spirits. I am one of those that if you want something done I want it done right. This spirit delivers the job done right.

Got a bottle a few years ago before my father passed and he thought it was the best he’d tasted....( he may or may not have distilled his own when he was younger!) he wasn’t one to mince words and was very picky over what he drank, so if he said it’s up there then it must be!

Great to get the small batch poitin but it didn't come in the hessian bag? Will try it out and leave a review

Bought this two years on the bounce and will buy it again this year. It’s definitely a party starter! I love it
