Tasting Notes: The nose is elegant with notes of malt and liquorice and a light smokiness. On the palate it is creamy and balanced with fruity notes and hints of peat. The finish is quite long and balanced.
 
The Distillery: Located right on the Cooley Peninsula and the result of a conversion, in 1987, of an old factory that distilled potatoes. Since 2014, after a change of ownership to Beam, it has become part of Beam Suntory. The variety of production means that both the still and column methods are used in this distillery and, typically, a double distillation is carried out. Connemara has won over 300 awards in its history and was awarded 'Distillery of the Year' in 2008 by the International Wine and Spirit Competition and 'Distillery of the Year' in 2010 by The Malt Advocate.
