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

Nose: Bright, fragrant aromas of green apples, crisp orchard fruits, and fresh cut grass blend with sweet notes of vanilla custard, honey, and a light malty undertone.
Palate: A smooth, light-bodied texture carries flavors of sweet malt, toasted cereal, and honeyed orchard fruit alongside subtle waves of toffee, vanilla, and gentle baking spices.
Finish: The short-to-medium finish leaves behind a mild, warming fade of pepper and sweet cinnamon spice, balanced by lingering hints of dry oak, malt, and a light grassy bitterness.
