when ever there is a big political event that draws all attention evil people like poitin will use the opportunity to do some more evil with out newspapers taking much notice

watch for poitin enemies disappearing and attacks on other nations , maybe some extra fraud

I love the energy but this only makes sense if you read it with the completely wrong alphabet. (poitin is pronounced puch-een)

Edit: on reflection vladimir pucheen sounds like an anime protagonist.

Hell yeah! Grappa by any other name - still tastes pretty damn good.

But I'm pondering getting weird with it. Like, I have purple peruvian potatoes growing out the back I could base a mash on...

If its spuds, then isn't it vodka????? I could well be wrong here, but I thought poitin was a mix of 3 barley to 1 wheat?

poitin is a traditional moonshine, meaning it's whatever you can get to ferment. Lot of starchy stuff used thanks to the brits turning Ireland into the worlds largest potato farm, so taters are perfectly acceptable to base mash

^all spirits start as vodka, you just add different toppings^
