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.
A few years ago I became curious to try some single malts as I had friends who were fans of a particular one. I sent for a tasting sample box, which included theirs. This was my favourite. There was a close second. And their single malt of choice? Didn't like it at all!!!!
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
