    The Pogues Whiskey

    An Irish Whiskey from the Celtic punk band The Pogues and West Cork Distillers (not to be be confused with the American whiskey Old Pogue). Fronted by Shane McGowan, the band have released The Pogues Whiskey which is said to have the highest malt content of any blended Irish whiskey! It was developed by Barry Walsh and Frank McHardy. The bells will certainly be ringing out for this one!

    Truly awful

    As another reviewer mentioned already. I thought this was off as it was as awful on the nose as it was to the taste. It had a stale body odour like smell and had a very yeasty like flavour to the taste. I've had many whiskies that I've not enjoyed or not have been my thing but ive always finished them, but this is the first whisky that I discarded after a few attempts to taste. I'm not one to exaggerate but this is truly awful.

    Odd

    Bit odd, and not in a good way

    Mark Feb 6, 2021

    If it comes in a gift pack with a cap, buy it the cap is excellent

    Not the worst Irish whiskey, I don't agree with the tasting notes at all.

    Andre van Zuydam Feb 5, 2021

    It’s a zero rating whiskey....sorry

    In all honesty this is by far the worst Whiskey ? I have ever tasted. It leaves an aftertaste that I can’t begin to describe. I thought it was off , so bad it was. Sorry .
