Notes - The Connemara Pure Pot Still Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a unique product, being the only single peated pure malt Irish whiskey distilled. Connemara Cask Strength is Connemara Single Malt bottled from the cask at around 60 per cent alcohol by volume. The unique and exceptional quality of Connemara Cask Strength was recognised in the International Wine and Spirits Competition where it won a gold medal in 2000. Tasting notes of Jim Murray, renowned Whiskey Commentator - Nose: This is the unique aroma of peated Irish whiskey as nature intended. When cold, the smokiness is quite lazy; warm in the glass and it starts to lift off into another, medicinal direction and positively amplifies when it reached the nostrils. Wow! Taste: Big, fat and oily start with enormous peat surge in the middle. The peatiness is toasty and roasty rather than iodiney. It absolutely fills the mouth yet still enables sufficient malt to come through to give some added complexity. Finish: Massive peat clings to every crevice in the mouth and remains sweet and glorious.
