I was going to do a one word blog;
Corny
But that wouldn’t do this poitin justice.
It’s corny in 2 ways.
Firstly from the rather ‘bigging up the blarney’ touristy offering,
And then the softly sweet new make smell of it’s main ingredient – I’d suggest anyway – corn.
It’s not a flavour profile I’m particularly fond of.
But Bunratty Poteen was one of the 1st commercial poitins – the more usual spelling – out on the market post the 1997 legalisation.
And for that it’s worthy of praise. For opening up the category to other entrants – which suit my palate better.
So I doff my cap to Bunratty Poteen for being a trend setter.
Even if I find it corny!
