Product description
The Pogues are an Irish punk rock band formed in 1982. Their original name was Pogue Mahone, an anglicisation of the Gaelic "póg mo thóin" meaning "kiss my arse".
The group went on hiatus several times, finally disbanding in 2014. Pogues, the “official whiskey of the legendary rock band,” debuted a year later as a collaboration between its members and West Cork Distillers. Its formula was developed by two legendary blenders, Frank McHardy and Barry Walsh, using 50% triple-distilled malt whiskey and 50% grain whiskey aged for at least three years and one day. 2017 brought a limited edition of The Pogues whiskey inspired by the 30th anniversary of the band’s Christmas song Fairytale of New York.
