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.....
