Micil Irish Poitín is an Irish poitín made at Micil Distillery in Galway, Ireland's first legal distillery in over 100 years. Made from malted barley and a local botanical called bogbean, it is bottled at 44% ABV in 500ml bottles. It sells for around $49.
The palate is rough and rustic, less engaging and more booze-centric than the Ban bottling, with a much more intense, vegetal funk. Chewy and rustic, Micil hits the palate much more like a brash white whiskey than Ban’s more subdued expression.
