STRAW BOYS POITÍN IRISH MOONSHINE

‘

Detailed Description
In western Ireland Straw Boys were wedding crashers. They’d obscure their faces with conical straw hats, break into the reception, dance with the bride, have a drink, and then leave. This was considered good luck for the wedding couple. This unaged whiskey is made entirely from malted barley and bottled at 45% ABV.

Nose: Aromas of vanilla bean, underripe plantains, and tart green apples.
Palate: The palate is similar but because it is fresh distillate all the flavors seem artificial or chemical.
Finish: The finish shows sulphur along with toasted grain and marshmallow.
