Connemara Distillers Edition Peated Irish Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Irish whiskey makers dare to break tradition and embrace the smoky art of peat?

The Connemara Distillers Edition represents a bold departure from conventional Irish whiskey-making, delivering Ireland’s most refined peated single malt expression. From the innovative Cooley Distillery, this double-distilled masterpiece challenges the triple-distilled norm, creating deeper complexity while maintaining that signature Irish elegance. Unlike the gentler traditional Irish single malts, this expression boldly incorporates peat smoke, yet remains distinctly lighter than heavily peated Islay whiskies.
