Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey, 70cl

Product Information

That might seem strange. But then consider Connemara, the place. As the people behind Connemara Whiskey well know, it’s a beautiful place situated on the West coast of Ireland, filled with rolling mountains and a glorious seaside that will leave you in awe of your surroundings. The whiskey distillery and heritage centre will also be conveniently located along Ireland’s prosperous and famous Wild Atlantic Way in Connemara. Galway hurling legend Joe Connolly recently launched his plans to open a whiskey distillery and heritage centre in Connemara.

Connemara Irish Whiskey : The Whisky Exchange

Connemara Whiskey has been largely celebrated within the Whisky world, having received several gold medals as well as the title of World’s Best Irish Single Malt Whisky. The building has been carefully designed to reflect the beauty of its surroundings because we want our distillery to be an attractive hub, with its Visitors’ Centre and Tasting Bar. It will provide employment, draw in tourists and add value to other businesses in the area,” Connolly explained to the Connacht Tribune.

But he really convinced me for the price. Nice soft and fruity and above all pleasant smoke. I honestly can not think of a single malt that has a similar PLV. The Tyrconnell – a single malt whiskey, The Tyrconnell was acquired as a brand by Cooley in 1988 after being dormant since 1925, when the old Watt's Distillery (the original producers of The Tyrconnell) closed. [13] Connolly himself was also excited about the impact that the whiskey distillery and heritage centre could have. He said, “It will be a real game-changer for the area in regard to job creation.

Experience running a whiskey distillery business runs in the family as Connolly’s grandparents were once renowned distillers of illegal spirits. The distillery features both column stills and pot stills for distillation. Unlike most other Irish whiskeys, which are usually distilled three times, Cooley's products are generally distilled twice, as the third distillation is thought to remove some of the flavour components. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. Overall: Not in the same category as peated Islay malts in this price range, which have depth of flavor and complexity beyond what this Connemara can reach. Still, it is an interesting take on a peated single malt, and is well-crafted without bitterness or off-notes. Notable for its individuality among the Irish category, but not something that your average malt-head will choose over an Islay malt like Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig 10, or Caol Ila 12.

Conor has had two short stories published in the widely acclaimed Wexford Bohemian Literary Journal. Joe Connolly is most famous for being a Galway hurler. He successfully captained the county to victory in the All Ireland Hurling Championship in 1980. As a devoted Connemara drinker I found the 12 yr old to be very mild and smooth, as expected perhaps?
