Screening of Poitín with Bán Poitín Tasting & Talk

Join us for a special screening of Poitín (1978), Bob Quinn’s groundbreaking Irish-language film that delves into the world of illicit poitín distillation in the rugged Connemara landscape. As Ireland’s first feature film in Irish, Poitín is a gripping tale of tradition, rebellion, and survival, starring Cyril Cusack, Donal McCann, and Niall Tóibín.

To enhance the experience, guests will enjoy complimentary samples of Ban Poitín, a premium craft spirit that celebrates Ireland’s historic illicit distilling culture. Following the screening, a special talk from Dave Mulligan, owner of Bán Poitín will explore the rich and often turbulent history of poitín-making, tracing its roots from ancient times to its modern resurgence.

This event promises an evening of film, folklore, and fine spirits…

This event is strictly over 18s only.
