It’s the greenest time of the year — a time to celebrate Saint Patrick and all things Irish! It’s the first time in two years that we’ve been able to celebrate properly with parades, festivals and céilís so we’re going to go all in this year! However, no Paddy’s Day would be complete without a traditional Irish tipple. In honour of Lá Fhéile Pádraig, we’ve put together a list of Irish beers, whiskeys, poitín, and cream liqueurs to help you celebrate the day in style! Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh!

The Country Winner for Ireland at the World Beer Awards 2021. The classic O'Hara's Irish Stout, but now nitrogenated for a smoother, creamier texture.

Poitín




1) Micil Poitin

Micil is distilled in Galway's first legal distillery in 100 years. Pádraic Ó Griallais is a 6th generation poitín maker and has named Micil in honour of his great-great-great grandfather who was famed for producing the best moonshine in the area. The distillery uses 100% grain along with a local botanical called Bogbean. The Bogbean is said to add a little spice to the honey and grain flavours in the poitín. This versatile spirit can be enjoyed straight like a whiskey, in cocktails or over ice with your favourite mixer.


ABV 44% | €30.00 




2) Glendalough Mountain Strength Poitin

A triple distilled poitín that has been made in traditional copper pot stills using malted barley and spring water. Bottled at a powerful 55%. Try it neat if you dare, or add a little water. This can also work wonders in many cocktails where the floral and malted grain flavours work a treat.


ABV 55% | €37.00 




3) Mad March Hare Poitín

An award winning Poitín that is made 100% from malted barley and then distilled in traditional copper pot stills. This is clean, crisp and delicate tasting with flavours of malted grains and citrus fruits.


ABV 40% | €36.00 




4) Teeling Spirit Of Dublin Poitín

Distilled at the Teeling Distillery in the Liberties area of Dublin. Spirit of Dublin has been made using a 50/50 mix of unmalted barley and malted barley. It can be compared to an unaged Single Pot Still whiskey but being a new spirit it has a character all of its own. On its release, this was the first new release of a spirit to be made in Dublin for 125 years and marked a return of distilling to the Liberties area which was once full of breweries, distilleries and tanneries. This poitín can be drunk straight but also works very well in cocktails and Irish coffees.


ABV 52.5% | €34.99

Made from malted Irish barley, it's deliciously sweet with a hint of winter spice! Perfect over ice or in a hot chocolate!
