@@MrAussieUK Indeed. George Best recounted the story of how he went on a date with the woman who had just won the Miss World contest. They went to the races and won several thousand pounds. That evening Best and Miss World laid the money out on the bed of their hotel room to count it. At that moment, a hotel waiter knocked on the door to bring them the two bottles of champagne they’d ordered to celebrate. The waiter, still mindful of Best’s early retirement from football, handed over the champagne, looked at the beautiful Miss World, looked at the thousands of pounds and then said to Best: “George, where did it all go wrong?”

Where I grew up, rural east county Limerick, we pronounce it poteen. When I left there, my country, my people (sometimes I hide my tears and weep alone, ashamed because I left my country and my people, now forever lost) My father gave me a bottle of poteen for to give to his brother who I would meet in NYC when I arrived there at JFK. This was 1963. Half way through the flight, somewhere over mid Atlantic, I feel a wetness in my chest, it’s the god-dam poteen spilling out , too much high altitude. When I got off the plane I smelled like a total alcoholic. My future brother-in-law and sister were there to greet me... we still laugh about it. I live in California now, I am retired. I have a family and a beautiful home but hardly a day goes by that I don’t remember where I came from.

After following this easy step by step guide you can make about 380 to 390 pounds per barrel. But the part thats the most fun is when the lads in blue come over for a bit of hide and seek

I come from a long line of Poitín and Moonshine makers from both sided of the pond. They see themselves as custodians of a deep history and tradition and the fact that its illegal is incidental and ridiculous. Its legal to possess sugar, water, barley, yeast, and copper and you pay taxes on them but its illegal to combine them. People would rather drink the illegal stuff.

Contrary to the media BS and people’s very selective memories, the average parish priest in Ireland or Poland or anywhere else was always a more moderate and reasonable person than the local cop or government administrator. The clergy were very often called in to moderate in situations where the law was attempting to prosecute poor people for minor infractions.

It was claimed by many people from near and far that my father and his brothers were the very finest Poitin makers in West Connemara, after brewing out in the mountains they would bottle up and go cross mountains and bog lands in the dark evening and at night to deliver to this special brew to peoples homes they even crossing down into Co mayo to earn a few shillings, My father could tell a good or bad poitin by its looks also its smell yet he drank very little of it.

I don't understand why Poitin is still illegal? Why is that illegal but things like vodka and whiskey aren't? Is Poitin just the Irish word for moonshine, meaning it's basically any home made alcoholic drinks?

@@AnnaLVajda I'm just wondering what part of it is illegal. Is it illegal to make any kind of alcoholic beverage at home without a license? That makes absolute sense. But this video makes it seem like a specific kind of drink is illegal, not alcohol in general. It's like making vodka or whiskey illegal, but not rum or brandy, that doesn't make sense to me.

The Connemara poitin still shown at 5:15 is a primitive affair, to be sure. I am running a licensed still over here in California, all made of copper as a proper still should be. For the comments to say this Connemara still is no different than stills the world over shows he has a lot to learn about distillation. Poor lad, if he thinks this is how it is everywhere he's in for a shock.
