Killowen Distillery Copper Pot Direct Flame Fired Poitín is a traditional unaged Irish poitín (a spirit with EU Geographical Indication status) distilled at Killowen Distillery in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof) in a 375ml bottle, non-chill filtered.

The Story of Killowen Poitín

The mash is 69.2% malted barley, 23% unmalted barley, 3.8% Maris Otter malt, 2% oat and 2% wheat, a recipe derived from a local one. The malted barley is smoked in Killowen’s handmade kiln with turf from the nearby Mourne mountains. Fermentation is open-top and outdoors with ambient yeast for 48 hours before further inoculation. It is distilled in flame-fed copper pot stills with worm-tub condensers, which create complex flavors and an oily, robust spirit. Its character comes straight from the mash bill and technique.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Gentle grassy notes
  • Palate: Porridge with cream, earthy vanilla and a hint of pine
  • Finish: Lingering smoke and spice

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat, or use it in cocktails in place of an unaged whiskey.
