Glendalough // Ireland
RARE
Glendalough prides itself on being Ireland's first craft distillery, founded by 5 friends from Dublin and Wicklow in 2011. Their signature Poitín (pronounced "po-tcheen," which means "pot stilled whiskey," the original Irish "water of life") is made from a classic recipe, distilled from sugar beets and malted barley.
Though it's clear, it has actually been lightly aged in virgin oak and filtered for clarity. The image on the bottle is St.

PoitínPoitín or poteen is a traditional Irish spirit usually made in a small pot still. It is often made from barley, corn, potatoes or sugar beets. It isn't usually aged, but it can be for up to 10 weeks and it can also be flavored. Its name comes from the Irish word "pota" which means pot.

Tasting Notes
"One can actually taste both the beets and barley right away. It has a distinguished malty, slightly smoky and sweet flavor. It also has some of that young whiskey acetone firewater quality, but it would almost be disappointing if it didn't. It would be an interesting one to try for those who like dabbling in white whiskeys."
