Connemara 12 Year Old
Connemara 12 Year Old is a highly regarded, peated single malt Irish whiskey produced by the Cooley Distillery (part of the Kilbeggan Distilling Co.). Unlike most Irish whiskeys which are unpeated and triple-distilled, Connemara 12 is double-distilled and uses heavily peated malted barley, resulting in a flavor profile often described as "Irish whiskey meets Islay Scotch".

Finish: The experience concludes with a long, satisfying fade of lingering peat smoke, charred oak, and a touch of tangy dried fruit and vanilla
