Connemara WhiskeyConnemara Whiskey , Ireland's first peated single malt produced by Cooley Distillery. The Cooley distillery was introduced to world in late 1980 to challenge the rest Irish distillers.
Connemara Named after one of the most popular locales in Ireland, Connemara is one of nature's artful culminations. The tough Atlantic coastline and great mountains mix with the downpour drenched peated marsh terrains to make a scene of one of a kind regular magnificence.
Distillery History The distillery was founded by John Teeling in year 1987.

On 16 December 2011 Beam Inc. reported designs to buy Cooley for around US$95 million. The deal shut on 17 January 2012.

Connemara 12 Year Old ( 40% ABV )This Whiskey positively negates the idea that every Irish Whiskeys are the equivalent. Bringing back more established styles of Irish Whiskey creation, this is double distilled and uses peated malted barley. It at that point gets the chance to go through its time on earth in ex-bourbon barrels for a long time. Made with 100% malted barley from single distillery and dried with peat.
Connemara 12 years Tasting NotesNose: Green, vegetal peat. This is exactly how I envision smoked cucumber would smell, if something like this existed. The peat smells like it was made completely out of green verdant things decayed in inland lowlands (no ocean notes). Lime strip. Watery.
Palate: Medium-bodied. Light malt with new tobacco leaf, birch brew, and heaps of dark pepper. No off-notes, however stark.
Finish: Long. Vanilla. Gritty, substantial peat at long last, with notes of broiled mushrooms and tofu. Mellow, cake-batter grain note. No sharpness.
