The plans describe a top-of-the-range distillery that offers a first-class visitor experience with bonded warehousing, a tasting bar, a bottling hall, a heritage centre, and a shop and café.

Still, it is an interesting take on a peated single malt, and is well-crafted without bitterness or off-notes. Notable for its individuality among the Irish category, but not something that your average malt-head will choose over an Islay malt like Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig 10, or Caol Ila 12. The distillery will create more than 30 jobs in its first five years. Furthermore, the heritage centre hopes to attract up to 16,000 visitors in its first year. It’s expected to have 52,000 visitors per year after five years. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. The distillery features both column stills and pot stills for distillation. Unlike most other Irish whiskeys, which are usually distilled three times, Cooley's products are generally distilled twice, as the third distillation is thought to remove some of the flavour components. The Kilbeggan Distilling Company’s attempt to bottle natural beauty has led to the award-winning Connemara Whiskey, so, presumably, they’re doing something right.

Connemara 12 Year Old Peated Irish Whiskey - The Whisky Exchange Connemara 12 Year Old Peated Irish Whiskey - The Whisky Exchange

Nose: Green, vegetal peat. This is just how I imagine smoked cucumber would smell, if such a thing existed. The peat smells like it was composed entirely of green leafy things decomposed in inland bogs (no sea notes). Lime peel. Watery. That might seem strange. But then consider Connemara, the place. As the people behind Connemara Whiskey well know, it’s a beautiful place situated on the West coast of Ireland, filled with rolling mountains and a glorious seaside that will leave you in awe of your surroundings.This malt has been triple distilled and, as well as being created to reflect the landscape of Ireland’s West coast, it’s also a great expression of the long history of Whisky distilling that has gone on before it. The Tyrconnell – a single malt whiskey, The Tyrconnell was acquired as a brand by Cooley in 1988 after being dormant since 1925, when the old Watt's Distillery (the original producers of The Tyrconnell) closed. [13] The building has been carefully designed to reflect the beauty of its surroundings because we want our distillery to be an attractive hub, with its Visitors’ Centre and Tasting Bar.
