Interesting fact… Connemara Peated whiskey spells its name whiskey as it originates in Ireland. Had it been produced in Scotland its name would be Connemara Peated whisky, instead of whiskey.
The nose is well-smoked and peated, heather freshness and floral notes with a honeyed sweetness and a little wood. The palate is full and smooth with notes of malt ad peat, honeyed smoke and barley sweetness. The finish is long and pungent with honey and peat smoke.

Great value for money
Really comparable to the Benriach Curiositas or Benromach Peated. To me it should be a bit more oily in the palate. Still a respected bottling.
That's the stuff!
Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Connemara. Irish peat Perfection.
More Campbeltown than Islay
This is a very well made whisky, MoM tasting notes a spot on, I found that this whisky has more in common with Longrow than any of the Islay malts, If you like peated whisky this may be a new favourite, personaly I think the texture could be better and so could the finish, but there is no getting away from the fact that this is a good whisky over all, I would suggest that you should buy a bottle of the single cask Connemara if you can get it, it's non chill-filltered and irons out all the rough parts that are in the "standard" Connemara.
