Poitin or Poteen is a traditional Irish distilled, highly alcoholic beverage (60%-95% ABV). Poitin was traditionally distilled in a small pot still and the term is a diminutive of the Irish word pota, meaning pot . Traditionally distilled from malted barley grain or potatoes, it is one of the strongest alcoholic beverages in the world, and for centuries was classified as illegal in Ireland. Irish moonshine, along with all other private distillation not specifically licensed by the state, was outlawed in 1661. On 7 March 1997, the Irish Revenue Commissioners withdrew their opposition to poitin being sold in Ireland, though legal production for export has been allowed since 1989.
