This was a very interesting, and successful, experiment carried out by Cooley's then Innovation Manager Alex Chasko. Three bourbon casks were fitted with new ends made from ancient bog oak and filled 80% heavily peated malt aged for four years. This was the same malt used in the Connemara Turf Mor. The other 20% is made up of malt from casks aged between six and 15 years old. The extra aging in bog oak was for about 12 months or so and it was bottled at a generous 57.5% abv. Rated 93/100 in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.

This is the full strength Connemara bottled at the natural strength at which it leaves the casks. It's is a much loved bottling that combines the smoke which characterises Connemara with some pronounced and powerful alcohol. If anything this seems to accentuate the smokiness and add some extra flavour. Definitely a whiskey to try if you are into smoky whiskeys.

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. It's said that when the Cooley Distillery started up in the late 1980s, it had no plans to make a smoky whiskey, but at some stage peaty malt was bought and run through the stills with fantastic results.

A Connemara with an extra peaty punch. This was produced using 58 ppm peat compared to the usual 20 ppm in the standard Connemara range. In 1001 Whiskies You Must Try Before You Die, Dominic Roskrow describes it as a brooding dark cloud of peat offset by some sunshine fruitiness...

Craoi na Mona is Irish for 'heart of peat'. This was produced by Cooley and bottled for the famous Berry Bros. & Rudd shop. It's quite similar to the standard NAS Connemara.

Somewhat controversially awarded 'World's Best Whisky' in Jim Murray's 2016 Whisky Bible. This is a great whisky and is definitely worth trying, but is it the best in the world?

An Aingeal Dubh means 'the dark angel', but it's nothing to be afraid of... Belgian importers Daily Dram have chosen this Cooley malt for their Nectar range. One of 212 bottles, it's a grassy, fruity Irish single malt that went down very well with renowned French whisky expert Serge Valetin.
