Killowen Poitin Pangur Original Bourbon Cask 47% abv 70cl

Pangur is a 50-50 marriage of two Irish Poitíns from two iconic distilleries, one big, one tiny, just across a lough from each other.
Like Pangur, they are masters of their art, bringing you a Poitín of superior body & flavour. Instant rye bread on the nose, lots of aniseed and a dose of salty seawater, which then leads to dulce, and the smell of rain. There’s also a spicy marmalade note that comes through with hints of Sevilla orange. Initially, there’s a warming aniseed note which changes to dry pepper. Quite earthy also, with damp bark and wet grass. The beautiful texture is so creamy and luscious, reminding me of white chocolate. Finishes medium in length, more gentle warmth with ginger this time but with a sweet lemon meringue note too.
