Connemara Cask Strength Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

'This is the most extraordinary whiskey to come out of Ireland in living memory.
Top marks for this one.'
- Jim Murray author of Classic Irish Whiskeys.

Unique to the world of Irish whiskeys, Connemara Cask Strength is the only Irish whiskey to be produced from its natural strength.  Natural, undiluted and not chill-filtered or coloured in any way,  the level of alcohol differs between bottlings, and so labels are printed specially for each batch. 58.8% Alc./Vol.

Tasting note: Cool fresh air blowing over a bed of mint. Ozone, camphor, turf. Oily vanilla is first to take hold on the taste, followed by sweet, delicate cereal. All the while, the turf notes are rumbling along like far off thunder. Lightening strikes finish. Peppery chocolate and sparks of turf smoke spiral upwards. Then a cool zephor of menthol. Magnificent. This is one of the world's truly great whiskeys - drink it and weep. - Peter Mulryan author of Whiskeys of Ireland.

Other reviews... 'The higher strength Connemara intensifies the flavours associated with its predecessor at 40% alcohol by volume. Careful selection of different aged whiskeys has contributed to this being regarded as Cooley Distillery's finest whiskey. However, as with all peated malts its an acquired taste.'
- Noel Sweeney, Cooley Master Blender.
