About Us
The Knockeen Hills family owned brand, commenced production and bottling 23 years ago in Waterford, Ireland, with a singular aim to create a world-wide recognised, ultra-premium bespoke luxury poteen. Having achieved this early in its life, it continues this commitment
The History
This clear, clean, transparent distillate, consists of reduced levels of distillate congeners at only 0.024% being 240 parts per million, compared to other poteens on the market.

This aim has been further achieved, as it is the only poteen product complying with legislation, authorising the use of distillate exceeding 94.7% vol. This permitted the continuing exclusive use of ultra-high strength Irish whey spirit as its base distillate and its unique distillation process. This, when combined with the products selection of natural and organic botanicals, provides an exceptional smooth delicate taste with a similarly outstandingly smooth delivery of the spirit on the palate. All our products including our Elderflower and Heather London ‘Cut’ dry gin have these properties
