Connemara Turf Mór (Travel Retail Exclusive)

Single Malt — Ireland

This was in a pile of samples that, of course, came from @PbMichiganWolverine. Well, anyways, a pour of this tonight is what is in store. Take old school bbq charcoal, throw some apples, apricots, pears on top of that grill. Drizzle honey over the fruit. Grill and flip. Throw some cedar chips on the briquettes. Now, lastly, take a fresh orange and squeeze the juice over the grilled, smoked fruit. A sweet and charcoaled fruity aromas. Lightweight and thin, there is a subtle sweetness with razor sharp edges. Once you work past the jaggedness, vanilla, cigar ash, lemon/orange citrus, apples, apricots and pears medley, that were previously grilled, all come through the palate. All the in a burst which slowly, like a fading firework, fade away. The prickly sensation with cigar ash and black pepper fade with a touch of woodiness. The ash remains leaving the palate ashy and charcoaled and mentholated. There is the cleanness that is often found in Irish whiskey. The ash and sweet are nicely balanced, weighted towards the tobacco ashy side. A nice, peated Irish whiskey. Light, elegant and enjoyable. [84/100][Tasted: 3/20/21]

    I think this was batch 2. Batch 1 was retail stores in UK. I only had a sample of the batch 1, but loved it enough to hunt down a bottle. All sold out...but years later I did find this batch 2. A shadow of its original self.
