Irish moonshine, also known as poteen (6 letters), is an alcoholic beverage made from potatoes and other grains. It is traditionally distilled in Ireland and is illegal in many countries. Poteen is a strong, clear spirit that has been produced in Ireland for centuries. It is often flavored with herbs and spices, and can range in strength from 40 to 90 proof. The name 'poteen' comes from the Irish word 'póitín', which means 'small pot'. Poteen is often used in traditional Irish recipes, such as Irish stew and colcannon.
