Brendan Carty, an architect by profession, built Killowen Distillery in the Mournes of County Down, overlooking Carlingford Lough, to revive distilling techniques of the past, and he has become one of the driving forces behind the revival of poitín. Pangur is a 50\/50 combination of two spirits, one from either side of the lough, a modern tribute to Ireland's ancient poitín tradition, and the range won two Gold medals at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend offers both pot-still spice and notes of mezcal, with a savory, earthy character, superior body and a viscous mouthfeel.
