John O'Connell's Poitín 72% – Small Batch Irish Grain Spirit (35cl)
Extreme power. Pure tradition. Authentic Irish fire.
John O'Connell's Poitín pays tribute to one of Ireland's oldest—and most infamous—distilling traditions. Distilled at Union Hall, Co. Cork, and crafted according to a family recipe passed down for seven generations , this isn't whiskey… but something rawer, purer, and more powerful: Irish Poitín .
At a monstrous 72% alcohol , this is a high-strength small-batch spirit that immediately reveals why Poitín was illegal for centuries. This isn't for beginners—it's for collectors, adventurers, and enthusiasts seeking true authenticity.
