Bunratty
Meade
If music be the food of
love then Bunratty Meade is surely the drink of passion. First
discovered by Irish monks in the middle ages, Mead was believed
to have the magical powers of virility and fertility. In ancient
times it became the custom for the bride and groom to drink Mead
for one full moon after their wedding, hence the term "Honeymoon"
still used today. Bunratty Meade, the result of marrying pure
honey and the fruit of the vine together with selected herbs
recreates this legendary wine.
Bunratty
Potcheen
An original treasure, this
clear, smooth Irish spirit had been banned in Ireland since 1661.
Known as "Poteen" or "Poitin" it was
distilled for centuries for its smooth, extra strong taste. Also
known as moonshine or mountain dew, it is a fiery tipple made
from malt and barley fermented with yeast and distilled. It has a
delightful changing aftertaste that sweetens as it develops.
Bunratty Potcheen, the first to be legally produced and bottled
in Ireland, is now available for all the world to savour.
