Notes - The Connemara Pure Pot Still Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey is unique because it is the only peated single malt Irish whiskey distilled in the world. Reminiscent of an Islay Scotch Whisky in style, Connemara is more elegant and full of complexity and richness. The uniqueness of concept and quality was recognised in both the International Spirits Challenge and the International Wine and Spirits Competition where it scooped two gold medals in 1996. A third gold medal has been awarded to Connemara Peated Single Malt in the 2002 International Wine and Spirits Competition. Rich age and wood characteristics contribute to the lingering taste and warming low attributed to the finest malt whiskies. Tasting notes of Jim Murray, renowned Whiskey Commentator - Nose: A light and fruity nose with a distinct smoke and peat aroma. Taste: Silky smooth and honey sweet start, malt and fruits giving way to the intensifying full bodied peat. Complex yet balanced with vanilla oak tones. Finish: Golden honey notes followed by an extraordinary peat explosion spreading across the mouth and palate.
