Irish Poteen
Poteen was produced in Ireland according to legend, from the time when the first potato was harvested. The term 'Irish moonshine whiskey' commenced from around 1660.
A levy was then introduced on the legal distillation of spirits carried out privately and unless the operator was licenced by the State, it would be deemed an illegal act and therefore a criminal offence.
Not surprisingly, it then appeared that a substantial element of the Irish population was elevated to the 'criminal classes', overnight!
Traditionally the spirit is produced from potato, malt or grain.
Under proposed new EU regulations 15902/5 expected to be implemented imminently, it will be illegal to produce any spirit drink above 80% vol. in the EU. Please note that once the producer's existing stocks of the above 90% Vol. Quadruple-Distilled Gold Extra-Strength are exhausted, no further production of this strength will be made.
