    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!

    What the hell is that aftertaste?

    Dominatrix-leather-boot nose. Overpowering burn, flavor a little like the smell of acrylic paint. Badass kick, then a weird sweet coppery aftertaste. Not sure why this is a Pogues whisky, as it's more like a Mötörhead flavor. I imagine, if you licked Lemmy's most seasoned bass guitar, and saved the strings for last, that this would be its alcoholic expression. Five stars for evoking badass rock and roll, two taken off for evoking it in weird and disturbing ways.

    very nice

    big hit at my christmas party

    Master of Malt Customer Dec 28, 2017

    A cracking drink, scouser

    Very smooth on the pallet, easy on the throat very good

    John newton Dec 6, 2017

    Buy a bottle, buy two and keep a little in your flask. This is good sipping whiskey for sure.

    Everyone knows that I am a huge Pogues fan. Well here it is. The essence of the Pogues, its surprisingly complex for an Irish whiskey. It's sweet, intense and smooth all at once, just like the music I love and adore. Shane, Spider, James, Jem, Cait, Andrew, Terry, Joe, Phillip and all the others that came and went. You have given me so much happiness and now I'm drunk. SLAINTE, good show, good whiskey.
