Of course, it’s always hard to tell what exactly that tie-in means. The distillery’s press release boasts that The Pogues “were extremely involved in product development alongside master distillers from West Cork Distillers,” for what that’s worth—but even in that case, has Shane MacGowan ever really seemed like the most discerning whiskey geek to anyone? The music of The Pogues always had more of a quantity over quality aesthetic to it, so one would almost think that thematically, the cheap stuff would be the bottle to bear The Pogues name. But I digress—onto the whiskey itself, which is a 50/50 blend of single malt and grain whiskies.
