Distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2005 at 46% abv for the Celtic Whiskey Shop. A great bourbon cask single malt, showing off the peaty, fruity Cooley malt in its full glory.

A great, smokey single malt drawn from a single cask. Connemara is distilled at Cooley distillery and is currently the only Irish whiskey brand made from peated barley malt.

One of a number of great single cask bottlings of Connemara that we have sourced. These are well worth trying if you enjoy Scotland's Islay single malts.

Full and slightly greasy continuation of the nose, now with notes of peach and banana. Wonderful balance between the smoky peat and sweet fruit. The finish is long and sweet subdued

Casks of first fill bourbon matured Connemara (Cooley's peated single malt) were finished in an oloroso sherry cask, taking it up to 17 years. The extra aging in the sherry cask gives some lovely flavours of rich fruit cake and hazelnut.

Cooley released a few of their peated single casks, mostly distilled in 1992, over the years, and this is one of the oldest to be bottled. This single malt spent its entire life maturing an a bourbon cask, so it's interesting to try it alongside the 18-year-old Amontillado cask Connemara, which was also exclusive to the Celtic Whiskey Shop in Dublin. The Connemaras are great at any age, with the more mature ones like this showing extra complexity and developing a little more slowly. A lovely peaty vanilla finish, it's one to spend a little time with.
