An Buachaill Caol Dubh Poitín Release – Irish Whiskey News
An Buachaill Caol Dubh Poitín Release
Killowen are releasing a very important and small batch poitín next month called An Buachaill Caol Dubh, based on a historical experiment with the brilliant Fionnán O’Connor, and of course this one off poitín features in his eagerly awaited book. Unfortunately this is limited only to his crowdfunding community at www.creatur.ie who not only get access to his book and a bottle of his single cask, distilled at Boann, upon it’s release but also become part of a community who benefit from free seminars, tastings and become part of a cultural movement of like-minded spirit and history buffs who continue to encounter new perks.
Although this bottling is only a tiny part of a much larger project, Killowen Distillery advise any whiskey or history lover to subscribe to www.creatur.ie community and begin availing of these exclusive perks.
An Buachaill Caol Dubh is a once-off poitín project to re-experience the taste of a 1960s traditional music session. Uncovered by ethnomusicologist Dr. Pádraig Mac Aodhgáin in the University College Cork Seán Ó Riada Archive, the recipe was written by Larry Dillon, a well loved figure in the 1960s traditional music scene known for his famous house sessions.Made from an out-of-the-cupboard ensemble of ingredients, the poitín itself may well reflect those houses too. Its distillation was undertaken as part of Fionnán O’Connor’s Créatúr book project, in which the liquid and the story feature, and we are excited to release a special still strength bottling exclusive to Créatúr’s crowdfunding community, whose generosity makes all this research possible.
With 80% already sold to existing crowd funders, be sure not to miss out on your opportunity to be a part of the history of Irish Poitín.
An Buachaill Caol Dubh – exclusively available to the Créatúr’s crowdfunding community in the next two weeks.
