  1. Hi Hemant,

    "Poteen" is the English spelling of "Poitín" which is the traditional Irish name for this drink.

    Poitín is like whiskey that has not been aged or blended. It is clear like vodka but tastes like whiskey.It has been made in Ireland for centuries.

    Most Poitín is made illegally, i.e. the distiller does not have a licence to distil alcohol and does not pay alcohol tax.

    However, there are some brands that are produced legally like Bunratty and Knockeen Hills but my favourite is Zatori Poitín. See their website here: http://www.zatoripoitin.com

    Sláinte!
