Connemara Peated

Peat is all about Islay? Drink again. Here’s a peated Irishman!

Connemara (named for the area in Ireland) is the name given to peated spirit made at Cooley Distillery in Dundalk. It is double-distilled in the Scottish style. As with Cooley’s other Whiskeys, they are matured at the Locke’s Distillery in Kilbeggan. Connemara is Ireland’s only peated Whiskey currently on the market, although in centuries past smoky Irish Whiskeys would have been more common.

Smartass Corner:
Connemara is also famous for a beautiful green marble mined in the region, it is considered a national gem.
