Arguably the most important peated Irish whiskey, Connemara was the first in the modern era of renaissance to remind folks that Irish whiskey can be smoky. In fact, it often was, and Connemara Peated Whiskey is inspired by the whiskies that would have been made over the centuries in Ireland in areas like the one that gives the expression its name. Turf (as the Irish often call peat) was what was available to the early whiskey makers, so prior to the 20th century, peated whiskey was commonplace in Ireland. Connemara whiskey is produced at the famous Cooley Distillery and has a distinct but still delicate smokiness, balanced by a smooth texture and sweet taste. This profile has been highly decorated, receiving over 20 medals from major spirits competitions since 2012.

Una gran opcion de entrada a los ahumados, tranquilo, cuerpo medio, no abruma el dulzor, acompaña suavemente hasta el final del trago. Recomendable en su gama.
Great whisky, very peated. Not smooth and gentle but with very nice character.
Being a expat now far from my home in Connemara it was so good to order this malt. Every sip gives me so many happy memories of my youth. Cheers and recommend if your a connesiour of fine malt whisky
Brilliant price & excellent taste will defo buy again
I was in Dublin and after an Irish whisky. I like a well peated Islay single malt so having a look at the tasting profiles I settled on this. Firstly this is an easy drinking Irish whisky that has (to me) a light balanced peat flavour. It’ll not be an Laphroaig, Ardbeg or even a Talisker but it’ll hold its own for what it is. It’s a good start and I’d ask anyone to give it a try.
