Ultra-Premium Quadruple-Distilled Irish Poteen. I.W.S.C. Silver Medal (Best in Class). Tasting Notes: Nose: Densely fruity, immediately attractive and appealing citrus zest mingles with summer fruit aromas. At various times melon, pear drops, grape fruit, raspberry and boiled sweets emerge. Taste:With plenty of water this makes a refreshing long drink. Drunk neat, this exceptionally very high volume quadruple-distilled Irish spirit naturally provides an overwhelming kick and is certainly not recommended to ever take it in this fashion! However, when substantially diluted with the usual range of mixers the complexity is overwhelming, as is the case, when used as a substitute cocktail spirit base. Flavour: Warming and peppery, the initial shock subsides and a balanced fruitiness shows through. With water the middle taste is longer and reveals more fruit. Finish: Long lingering and warming, with a dry and spicy tail. Color . Clear. Profile. An exceptional example of a smooth centuries old Irish Spirit.
