A uniquely Irish spirit etched in the very fabric of Irish society and folklore. If you’ve never heard of poitín before, you are not on your own. Also known as poteen (pronounced potcheen), this clear spirit has been called many things over the years and is the inspiration in the origin of moonshine, it’s younger cousin in the United States.

The Rag Trader opened in August 2016 on Drury St in Dublin’s fashionable Creative Quarters. Drury’s street was once the rag trade district, with many warehouses and offices all concerned with the textile industry. The Rag Trader has taken this piece of Dublin history and run with it. The building itself was once a warehouse and today it houses a rather unique whiskey pub. They have managed to capture this period of time with the sympathetic renovation. The old world comes alive once you step through their door.

The Ryan’s have been whiskey people for six generations. One generation or another has worked in some part of the whiskey business. By the early twentieth century the course was set for the Ryan family, to source, finish and bottle their very own whiskey. Today this twelve year old single malt is one of the many carefully selected whiskey’s the Ryan family have chosen; this endeavour has been led by Eunan Ryan, whilst other members of the family take care of working the family pub in Beggars Bush.
