    Hey everyone I'm looking for some cool Irish words to use as the name of a product that I'm coming up with. The product is a premium Irish vodka so something that sounds cool and sophisticated with some sort of Irish historical context would be great and I promise lots of free vodka for whoever has the best idea.

    For vodka, "tinneas póite" could be handy...

    Blas

    taste
    flavour

    and if you speak Irish with a blas it means you have a good accent. An Irish speaker could explain the subtleties to you

    smidirīn, or smiodar


    Thinking of clear crystal glass being smashed-Nice active name with lots possible connotations with clear spirits. Irish yet familiar to non Irish speakers. Also smidirini is just a great sounding word.

    “Roll it back”

    Draíochta - "Magic"

    I think this word came from/also means Druidism?

    Could have some legend/story on the back of bottle about the ancient druids in Ireland.

    Rúisce

    Its a play on words of rúis agus uisce (Russia and water)

    Also sounds like the Irish for whiskey - fuisce
