Inspired by Ireland’s ancient distilling traditions, Connemara’s smooth sweet malt taste and complex peat flavours makes it a truly unique Irish whiskey. Produced in Cooley distillery, Connemara is the most decorated Irish whiskey with a huge collection of Gold Medals. This 12 Year Old peated version is the oldest expression in the Connemara range.

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. |
