that quickly summarizes story.

DUBLIN, 12 September 2022— Poitín Now marks a watershed moment in the Irish Spirits

industry. For too long, Poitín, despite being our National Spirit, has been largely ignored

despite being legal to distill for sale in Ireland since 1997.

In recent years a growing number of Irish distilleries have taken Poitín to a whole new level

and are now producing what can only be described as world class spirits.

Now it’s time to put this uniquely Irish spirit centre stage and Poitín Now aims to do just

that over the coming years. It’s time for Poitín to take it’s place on bar shelves and in glasses

across the world.

The Conference and Tasting Event will bring distillers, cocktail producers, bars, and industry

experts under the same roof for the first time. Expect delicious drinks, lively discussion and

debate as we bring Poitín to you as has never been done before.

Come join us in November and allow us to introduce you to a whole new world of Irish

spirits.

 Meet the distillers and learn what goes into making quality Poitín

 Sample a diverse range of Poitín from across the island of Ireland

 Taste exceptional Poitín based cocktails

 Bar hosted by Bar 1661, recently voted bar of the year 2022

 Purchase exclusive Poitín releases

 World’s largest Poitín collection on display

 Live Final of the Mad March Hare Poitín Cocktail final

“The time is now for Poitín. An event like this wouldn’t have been possible 5 or 10 years ago

as the depth of quality in the category wasn’t there. Now, in 2022, there is an increasing

number of distillers producing high quality Poitín as well as recent releases of bottled and

Ready To Drink (RTD) Poitín cocktails. To top it off, Bar 1661in Dublin, specialists in Poitín

cocktails, recently won Bar of the Year 2022. Poitín is coming out of the shadows.”
