Description

A peated single malt whisky from Ireland. Winner of numerous international plaudits - this truly is a great effort from distillers, Cooley.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Lemony and fresh. Quite light, oily peat which melds with a deft touch of light apple and pear, a hint of custard, and creamy malt.

Palate

Sweet, fizzy almost, with rustic, earthy peat, atop rhubarb and custard sweets, cream, malt and granary toast with melted butter. Smoky too, like a driftwood on fire.

Finish

Light finish, medium length, some vanilla and tangy fruit with traces of oily smoke and spice.

The Best IRISH whiskey out there!!!

They knocked it out of the park with the 12 yr! The fruitiness comes out followed closely by some really smooth smoke.

Thumbs up !

Lovely on ice, zesty with a bite of pear drops. Smooth like most Irish with a nice mild earthiness. If Laphroaig is a 10 and Lagavulin an 8, this is a 5.5.

A true classic of its own

Best thing ive tasted, love the good ol' tank of the peated bliss. 10/10 was so excited, drank most of it as soon as it arrived. Incredibly smooth, a few drops of water to balance that sweetness you look for.

Liked it. Will Keep Drinking it.

Seems to be an acquired taste. Smooth yet “earthy,” a slight burn on first taste, then a sweetness and a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Keep this on hand for any occassion

It plays out on the tongue, nose and palette exactly as described above. I took 2 tastings. The first was straight out of the bottle in an open glass rather than the shifter. I wanted it open and less pungent. The second sample was over clear ice for slight deletion. The pete taste was consistent through both samplings. The clear ice weakened the whiskey a little too much for me. But it was refreshing when chilled. Those who like mild Pete will like this one. Those trying for the first time will be enamored with a fine introduction.
