It's Poteen. A few years ago, the Irish government licensed one producer, although I don't think the product will be full strength.

You're looking for "Poitin" (pronounced, and sometimes spelled "Potcheen"). You can find it outside of Ireland as the bottle clearly states "For Export ONLY"
It's essentially Irish moonshine.

Potcheen is made in caves by a few people because it is illegal, pure spirit made from Potatoes. Very very strong. Difficult to purchase.
