Cardhu 12 Year Old
You may not have heard of Cardhu, but you've probably tasted it. It's a prime component of nearly all Johnnie Walker blended whisky. Europe, particularly Spain, had quite a taste for the single malt bottling. It was so popular in fact that they changed it to a blended malt to keep up with demand. This did not go over so well and Cardhu righted that wrong back in 2005.

Nose: At full strength, heady, nose prickle, pear drops and tightly integrated heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With a little water, still harmonious but less pronounced, allowing some malt cereal, soft, spicy wood, moorland and faint traces of wood-smoke to appear.
Palate: Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; short punch, sweet and fresh, then a pronounced drying effect. Moorish. Enjoyable at any time, with little or no water.
Finish: Lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.

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".

Nose: A light waft of campfire smoke and earthy peat merges with vibrant aromas of lemon zest, honeyed sweetness, and fresh orchard fruits like pear and apple
Palate: The entry is creamy and silkily smooth, balancing sweet flavors of vanilla fudge and malt with a sophisticated blend of rustic peat, subtle spice, and a hint of toasted nuts
Finish: The experience concludes with a long, satisfying fade of lingering peat smoke, charred oak, and a touch of tangy dried fruit and vanilla
