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.
Well-smoked and peated, heather freshness and floral notes with a honeyed sweetness and a little wood.
Full and smooth with notes of malt and peat, honeyed smoke and barley sweetness.
Long and pungent with honey and peat smoke.
Just as the tasting lads state...fine mineral nose, not over powering peat suttle smoke and long on the . palate. Different but very pleasing.
outstanding . heavily smoked.
Leave peat to the folks on Islay
an Irish guy recommended it when I was in Ireland. great choice to rep your country. people are crazy saying it's nasty. they must not have a taste or experience in Irish whiskey. FYI it's not scotch so don't listen to those reviews
Terrible stuff! Peat, sure, but it's sickly sweet and the balance is way off. Used it quite effectively to make a cocktail with limoncello and champagne which was good. Neat, no way - rather drink any of the cheap blends and I am a real peat lover!
