Irish Roots: Potatoes, Vodka, and the Spirit of Ireland
In the verdant fields of Ireland, where the emerald landscape stretches as far as the eye can see, lies a story as old as time itself. Here, amidst the rolling hills and whispering winds, the humble potato reigns supreme, a staple of Irish heritage and sustenance. But beyond its culinary prowess lies a deeper connection to the spirit of this land – one that finds its way into the very essence of our beloved Counting Pigs vodka.
For centuries, potatoes have been intertwined with the fabric of Irish culture, providing nourishment and inspiration to generations of farmers and artisans. It is no surprise then, that when it comes to crafting the finest vodka, we turn to these cherished tubers as our muse.
At Counting Pigs, we honor this legacy by hand-selecting rare Irish heritage potatoes from the fertile soils of Athenry, Galway. These potatoes, cultivated with care by fifth-generation farmers, impart a unique character to our vodka, infusing each sip with a sense of place and tradition.
From field to bottle, every step of the journey speaks to the spirit of Ireland – a land of resilience, creativity, and unwavering passion. So, as you raise your glass to toast to the beauty of this ancient land, know that you hold in your hand a piece of its storied history, distilled to perfection by the hands of our dedicated artisans.
