Connemara Original Peated Single Malt

Too smoky for me.

One of the best Irish whisky I’ve tried. (I’m a fan of scotch and Japanese single malts)

Surprising - I was expecting a two dimensional novelty ( a peaty, double distilled Irish? Why?), but this is quite delicious. Loads of honey, tempered by light, well integrated peat. Reminds me a little of Dewars 12, given its sweet vanilla notes, but a bit more balanced & complex than that cheap drop (thanks in part to the peat). Very smasheable, but the sweetness sits right on the edge of cloying. Worth a go

Peaty, Smokey, oak, vanilla, slight citrus, honey, light mouthfeel.

Sydney eau de vieu w Cameron. Not sure of year

Nose: Peat, apples, vanilla Palate: Nice fruity vanilla taste with peat. Finish: Hard to tell, masked by an Ardbeg 10 I had earlier.
