It will make you sick, if not worse.

Then the job of the distiller is to pick the heart's cut.

This is the piece of the spirit that you're going to keep.

Jimmy in our distillery, he does everything by nose, which makes it quite unique.

You know, he'll be smelling the spirit the whole time.

And you know, if it smells good, it'll taste good.

And then the tails is the kind of the back end of the spirit that doesn't have much flavor in it.

So what you do is you keep the heads and the tails, you keep re-distilling them, but the hearts cuts what you keep.

In the likes of whiskey, which would be the other spirit we'd make here in Ireland, you take really big hearts cuts, because the wood will round out the roughness on the spirit.

Whereas with poutine, you don't have that luxury.

Go for it.

One of the great drinks, or my favourite drink, with Pudging is Pudging and Lilt.

Now, Lilt's RIP, so this is like a fancier version of Lilt.

uh it's uh yeah it's returning to fanta grapefruit and pineapple i think it is but there's a wonderful irish brand called poachers to do a lovely grapefruit soda so that's what you mix it with so uh so that's what that is if you're looking for what it tastes like put you in a grapefruit soda it's it's a great mix

I've got three different versions of our Mikkel Pudging.

Yeah.

It's our classic.

Our heritage was our peated.

And then our Cullamara cream liqueur.

No, no, no.
