There was a time when peated whiskeys in Ireland were common, particularly on the Atlantic coast where peat bogs are plentiful. That changed in the 19th century when coal arrived. The Cooley Distillery launched Connemara in the 1990's, reviving a once fine tradition of peating barley.

Tasting Notes

"A reference when it comes to peated Irish whiskeys delivering a surprisingly smooth nose with fresh notes of eucalyptus, heather honey and plenty of earthy notes. Meanwhile, the palate offers a rich oily texture with hot spices, cooked peaches, juicy apples and those same earthy/peaty/smoky aromas. The finish is lingering with more spices and treacle."
