"Tasting notes of Jim Murray, renowned Whiskey Commentator
Taste: Silky smooth and honey sweet start, malt and fruits giving way to the intensifying full bodied peat. Complex yet balanced with vanilla oak tones.
Finish: Golden honey notes followed by an extraordinary peat explosion spreading across the mouth and palate
Serving Suggestions: Connemara can be served neat in a tumbler glass, on the rocks, or with a little water to release the bouquet. It is ideal as an after dinner or weekend drink when one can truly enjoy a tranquil moment to savour this unique whiskey.
Endorsements “Genuinely a one-off, being Ireland’s only peated malt carries a bit of a burden. But this is stylish, absolutely top rank and near faultless, showing remarkable maturity. For peat whiskey lovers this is more than a must. Brilliant” ."

Unique to the world of Irish whiskeys Connemara Cask Strength is the only Irish whiskey to be produced from its natural strength. Surprisingly smooth at 60% alcohol by volume, the cask strength captures the essence of Connemara. Natural and undiluted, not chill-filtered or coloured in any way, Connemara Cask Strength reflects the rugged nature of the famous region in the West of Ireland. As extraordinary as the landscape, this whiskey is exceptional. Because it is so natural and undiluted, the level of alcohol differs between bottlings, and so labels are printed specially for each batch. The pure clear spring water from the Cooley Mountains united with the peated malted barley give the Connemara Cask Strength a rare flavour. Slowly maturing for long years in oak casks, the natural ingredients and traditional distilling methods employed by Cooley Distillery create a whiskey, which is simply spectacular."
