When a wizard distills some wizard poitín

Poitin/Poteen/Potcheen  can be distilled from cereals, grain, whey, sugar beet, molasses or potatoes. The old style of poitín distilling was from a malted barley base for the mash, the same as pure pot still whiskey. In more recent times, some distillers deviated from using malted barley as a base due to the cost and availability instead switching to using treacle, corn and potatoes. It is believed this switch led to the deteriorating quality and character of poitín in the late 20th century.

Irish people drink poitin. from the TRY channel on youtube.

had to quickly draw Brynn and Vulture turning up on mason jar poitin. They’re characters from “the lamb will slaughter the lion” by Margaret Killjoy and it’s fucking incredible. queer crustpunk demon hunters. read. it.

so a friend of mine spent new year's in Ireland. she told me she was going to send me something. this showed up today while i was at work. she said the easiest way to describe it is if it were made here in the states we'd call it moonshine. I look forward to trying it.

The Royal Irish Constabulary display an illegal moonshine still captured in the glens of County Antrim, circa 1890.
