When it was first launched in 1999, it was the first smoky Irish whiskey to be produced for generations. Managing Director of Cooley Distillery, David Hynes and chairman John Teeling resurrected the traditional Irish custom of drying the malted barley over peat fires with this peated single malt. Michael – Having tasted a fair number of whiskies, I’ve found that they tend to fall into a few different camps for me.

A rather tasty and heavilly peated Irish Single Malt, ideal for fans of Islay and West coast Scottish whis. Connemara Peated Single Malt has won more Gold Medals in the last decade than any other Irish Whiskey! Since it was released in the late 1990s, it has won over many fans of peated Scotch whiskies such as Laphroaig and Ardbeg. These traditional distilling methods combined with natural ingredients and long years in oak casks continue to create a whiskey that is simply exceptional! Our unparalleled selection of premium products include ranges from cosmetics to confectionery, fragrances to fashion accessories, spirits to souvenirs, skincare to sunglasses, fine foods to fine wines and champagne.The smoke rising through the malted barley during this drying process confers the whiskey with a distinct peaty flavour and aroma. But despite the nod to the Islays, for me this is very much first and foremost an Irish whiskey (with some peat), rather than being like a true Islay whisky that happens to have been made in Ireland.

A limited editon Glass pack featuring the peated Irish Whisky Connemara, which is made at the Cooley distillery, along with a branded tumbler. Connemara is rare amongst Irish whiskey, its hook being the smokiness associated with the malts produced by our neighbours Scotland. It's a style of whiskey that had died away in Ireland after the 19th century, when small distillers would probably have dried their malt with whatever fuel was available at the time. Unique among Irish whiskeys, Connemara is the only Irish Peated Single Malt Whiskey widely available today.I feel like sometimes when I’m having a really peaty scotch, that I miss the scotch while I’m having the glass because of the overwhelming peat.

Silky smooth and honey sweet start, malts and fruits giving way to the intensifying full bodied peat.
