Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey captures the beauty of this region while reviving its traditions. This rare and original find among Irish whiskeys is a single malt, beautifully gilded in peat reek. Managing Director of Cooley Distillery, David Hynes and chairman John Teeling resurrected the traditional Irish custom of drying the malted barley over peat fires with this peated single malt. The smoke rising through the malted barley during this drying process confers the whiskey with a distinct peaty flavour and aroma. These traditional distilling methods combined with natural ingredients and long years in oak casks continue to create a whiskey that is simply exceptional!

Review by Wigdaddy
- Color
- Fresh motor oil.
- Nose
- Sweet tea, saccharin, incense.
- Body
- Syrupy, sharp, spicy.
- Palate
- Maple syrup lit on fire, ashes, not so much peat as potting soil, full of chemical fertilizers.
- Finish
- Longest finish ever. Dust, mildew, regret.
Don't expect an Islay malt. This is its own thing.

One of my new favorite single malt whiskeys. Very heavy peaty smell, little bit of spring water really opens the aromas and balances the taste all the way down. Highly recommended.

This is a decent single malt and a good stepping stone to Islays.

Review by Colin
- Color

- Nose
- Sweet peat, Autumnn rott, Earth, Dandelion, Slight alcohol sting.
- Body
- Medium weight, Some oily texture, Slightly dry.
- Palate
- Lots of peat, Malty caramel, Toffee, Dandelion, Dark chocolate, Light honey.
- Finish
- Long & Hot, Peat, Spicy.
Full strength, this whisky lacks character. Very much like a mediocre Islay. Improves with water, bringing some nice honey toffee notes.
