POITIN STILL, THE. Irish, Air (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Poitín [1], or, anglicized as 'poteen', is an alcoholic drink distilled from potatoes, and often the drink of the poor (since it could be brewed at home from available ingredients) in Ireland in the 19th century.

The making of Poitín was, and still is, illegal without a license.
