Legal Poitín going down a treat in the US

Jimmy Woulfe, Mid West Correspondent

Poitín of the same high quality as that which still surreptitiously flows from the illegal stills in the Slieve Felim hills of east Limerick, will be downed at many St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the US.

But this strong drink is all legal and produced by the Bunratty Mead and Liqueur Company near Bunratty Castle, using malting barley, yeast, sugar and water.
